Mahindra Accelo : Saluting
a pioneer
-------------------------------------------
Mahindra Accelo has set up a plant in Delhi-NCR , for
recycling of old / scrapped cars and looking to set up,
* one each in Panvel / Chennai / Indore /
Kolkata / Bengaluru ( March 2019 )
* 28 others in other cities within next 2
years
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror , Mahindra Accelo
MD , Shri Sumit Issar said :
* There are many parts in an old car
which can be recycled . The biggest component in
any car is steel –
about 70 per cent
For every tonne of
steel made in the country , 1115 kg of iron ore, 625 kg of coal,
53 kg of lime
stone, 642 kilowatt of energy and 287 litre of oil are used
If you are able to
recycle even 1 tonne of steel, imagine the savings on iron ore , coal, and
power ….. Moving forward, we want to recycle steel in a big way …. Our recycling
process is completely automated……. Our automated plant has the capacity to
recycle old trucks , buses, cars and two / three wheelers ….. We will pay them
to take their car , pick it up and get it de-registered from the Regional
Transport Office . All they need to ensure that their vehicle has a
registration number
Automotive recycling is the only way out. In India , there is no
policy on it .
Vehicles that are over 15 years old are either still
on the roads, or are lying abandoned.
India imports 6 – 8 million tons of scrap a
year . Imagine the savings if it starts recycling steel and
scrap is available locally

=======================================================
CONTEXT :
* Currently , unorganized / manual car-scrappers
, recycle some 4 million cars per year
in India
* If government mandates,
# compulsory scrapping of all vehicles which are more
than 15
year old and
#
total stopping of production of petrol / diesel vehicles
by 2030,
then the number of vehicles needing
scrapping and recycling will be , 20 MILLION
per year ( year after year )
MY SUGGESTION :
I had sent following email to our Cabinet Ministers /
NITI Aayog / PM –EAC etc , on 14
FEB 2018 :
Car
Grave-Yard of World ?
Even if they did not find time to read it , I hope
they will fully support the valuable views expressed by Shri Sumit Issar
Congratulations , Shri Issar , for your pioneering
efforts !
