When EcoDrive Recyclers Pvt. Ltd., a new auto dismantling company in Pune, began building its scrapping yard, the team was confident about equipment, land, and manpower. But after months of investment, their registration got stuck at the CPCB portal because two simple documents — the CTE certificate and a geo-tagged video of the plant — were missing.
This is a common story across India’s recycling industry. Entrepreneurs plan their infrastructure but underestimate the importance of documentation. If you’re planning to open a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) under the 2025 MoRTH guidelines, this guide explains exactly which documents to prepare, how to structure your application, and how to avoid costly delays.
The Vehicle Scrapping Policy 2025 mandates that every dismantling or recycling facility must be registered with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) through the official online EPR Portal (https://eprewastecpcb.in).
The CPCB verifies these registrations under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules 2016, and the MoRTH Vehicle Scrapping Facility Guidelines.
This system ensures that scrapping plants operate safely, control emissions, and maintain a traceable flow of materials from dismantling to recycling.
Registration is valid for five years, after which renewal is mandatory. No entity can carry out dismantling, recycling, or trading of scrap vehicles without CPCB approval and a valid state pollution board consent.
Below is a breakdown of the documentation every applicant must upload to the CPCB portal. Each item supports a different stage of verification — from identity proof to proof of technical capability.
| Type of Application | Fee (₹) | Validity Period |
|---|---|---|
| New Registration | 15,000 | 5 Years |
| Renewal (after 5 years) | 7,500 + 0.625 ₹/MT (based on EPR transactions) | 5 Years |
| Amendment (Addendum) | 3,000 | — |
| Annual Maintenance Charges | 5,000 | Per Year |
The fee must be paid online through the integrated payment gateway. Failure to pay the Annual Maintenance Charge (AMC) disables access to the portal until settled.
After submitting all documents, CPCB conducts a digital review using a structured checklist:
Incomplete applications receive a “Deficiency Note” on the portal. Applicants have seven working days to rectify errors before resubmission.
Operating without valid registration or misrepresenting data can result in serious consequences:
Example: A Tamil Nadu facility was suspended for an expired CTO and resumed only after fresh clearances and on-site verification.
Proper documentation does more than tick a box — it builds trust and commercial credibility.
For many entrepreneurs, navigating multiple regulatory portals can feel overwhelming. Green Permits acts as a bridge between industry and regulatory authorities by offering:
By outsourcing technical compliance to specialists, businesses save time and avoid regulatory penalties that can delay operations by months.
Setting up a vehicle scrapping facility is a transformative business opportunity in India’s circular economy. But before any machine starts, the paperwork must be perfect.
A complete and well-verified documentation set not only ensures swift approval from CPCB but also demonstrates that your operations are environmentally responsible and professionally managed.
