Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

HERE IS ONE WAY TO BEAT TRADE-WAR !


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  !
