Indian commercial and passenger car maker Tata Motors Limited has expanded its organized vehicle scrapping network by commissioning a new facility in Patna in the eastern state of Bihar, a company statement said on Tuesday, August 4.
The facility has a capacity for scrapping 15,000 end-of-life registered vehicles across all categories and brands, the statement said.
The facility uses separate dismantling processes depending on the type of vehicle. Commercial vehicles, two-wheelers and three-wheelers are processed through cell-type dismantling stations, while passenger vehicles are handled through a line-type dismantling system, it said.
With the addition of Patna, Tata Motors now operates 12 vehicle-scrapping centers across India. Tata Motors stated that its scrapping network can collectively dismantle close to 200,000 end-of-life vehicles per year.
