When Arjun Motors Pvt. Ltd., a mid-sized automobile service firm in Nagpur, decided to diversify into vehicle scrapping, the team expected a straightforward process.
Instead, they faced layers of paperwork — separate forms for the MoRTH, SPCB, and CPCB, conflicting timelines, and confusion over which portal to use. The project stalled for months, costing them their first OEM contract.
That’s when Green Permits stepped in. Within six weeks, our consultants helped Arjun Motors complete every approval — from feasibility reports to VAHAN integration — and launch their scrapping yard before the financial year closed.
Their story isn’t unique. Across India, many entrepreneurs face the same roadblocks when setting up a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF). Here’s how Green Permits helps turn compliance into confidence.
India’s Vehicle Scrapping Policy is designed to remove over one crore unfit vehicles from the roads, reduce air pollution, and recover valuable metals for reuse.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) have opened the door for private operators to build authorized facilities.
However, success in this sector depends on regulatory precision. Every RVSF must register through the National Single Window System (NSWS), secure environmental consents, and align with MoRTH’s RVSF Rules, 2021. Missing one step can delay a project for months or trigger penalties.
This is where expert consultancy becomes essential. Green Permits provides structured, end-to-end guidance to keep your project compliant, bank-ready, and operational on time.
Before a single rupee is invested, we conduct a comprehensive compliance map that links all approval points — from MoRTH to the State Pollution Control Board.
Our feasibility study identifies:
This early planning prevents costly redesigns later and helps business owners secure bank or investor confidence faster.
An RVSF requires clear zoning, minimum area standards, and a 10-year land lease or ownership proof.
Green Permits assists in:
Our infrastructure experts coordinate with local authorities to verify safety distances, drainage, and fire-safety parameters before inspection — reducing the chance of rejection.
Vehicle scrapping applications involve multiple agencies, each with its own form and checklist.
Green Permits simplifies this by preparing and submitting the entire bundle on your behalf:
Our consultants track progress daily, follow up with departments, and correct queries immediately so approvals move in a single continuous flow.
Beyond paperwork, a compliant plant must meet technical and environmental norms.
Green Permits helps clients select and configure:
By integrating these requirements into your layout, we ensure every piece of machinery aligns with your approved capacity—avoiding violations or fines during audits.
Once the facility is registered, Green Permits doesn’t step away.
We provide:
This ongoing partnership ensures your facility remains compliant and operational without last-minute surprises.
| State / UT | Processing Fee (₹) | Bank Guarantee (₹) | Registration Validity | Average Approval Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odisha | 1,00,000 | 10,00,000 | 10 Years | 45 Working Days |
| Gujarat | 50,000 | 10,00,000 | 10 Years + Incentive Window | 30 Working Days |
| Maharashtra | 1,00,000 | 10,00,000 | 10 Years | 60 Working Days |
| Haryana | 75,000 | 10,00,000 | 10 Years | 40 Working Days |
| Tamil Nadu | 1,00,000 | 10,00,000 | 10 Years | 45 Working Days |
Interpretation: While fees vary slightly, the biggest cost risk comes from delays. Missing a single compliance step can extend approvals by months, increasing interest costs and delaying production revenue.
Green Permits’ coordination approach helps clients cut this waiting period by up to 30 %, saving both capital and opportunity costs.
| Common Pitfall | Impact on Business | How We Prevent It |
|---|---|---|
| Incorrect land-use documentation | Application rejection | Pre-screening of land and zoning certificates |
| Missing consent or fire-safety clearance | Suspension until re-submission | Parallel tracking of approvals |
| Late bank-guarantee upload | Loss of processing fee | Scheduled reminders and escrow setup |
| Non-submission of annual returns | Risk of one-year suspension | Automated filing through Green Permits portal |
| Unapproved equipment installation | Environmental compensation or closure | Equipment validation against capacity certificate |
Through disciplined documentation and follow-through, Green Permits ensures that your registration stays active and penalty-free.
In early 2024, a Bengaluru-based recycler applied for registration independently. After four months, the file was returned for missing Consent to Operate and geo-tagged photos.
Green Permits took over the project, completed the missing sections, resubmitted, and secured registration in just 27 working days.
The plant is now fully operational, processing over 15,000 MT of vehicles annually.
Every registered RVSF gains access to a fast-growing network of OEM contracts, EPR credits, and government tenders.
Lenders increasingly prefer facilities with verified CPCB and MoRTH registrations, viewing them as low-risk borrowers.
By maintaining spotless compliance records, businesses also avoid environmental compensation penalties and enjoy smoother renewals.
Green Permits transforms compliance from a chore into a competitive edge—letting you focus on scaling operations instead of chasing approvals.
Setting up a vehicle scrapping plant in India is both a business opportunity and a regulatory challenge.
While policies are supportive, compliance demands precision.
With Green Permits as your partner, you gain not just approvals but also operational stability, credibility, and long-term savings.
