Are you a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility?

You’re a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility under ELV EPR if…

Facilities that receive, depollute, dismantle and scrap ELVs (the equivalent of Recyclers); they generate EPR certificates by weight of steel recovered, which Producers then purchase.

Do you have to register?

Producers (any vehicle OEM, brand owner or importer selling vehicles under their own brand) register with CPCB. Bulk Consumers (any entity owning more than 100 vehicles — fleet operators, State Transport Undertakings, large corporates) register with the State PCB. Excluded: agricultural tractors, trailers, combine harvesters and power tillers.

Your obligations

What a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility must do — and how we handle it

Four responsibilities sit with you under the Environment Protection (End-of-Life Vehicles) Rules, 2025. We can carry all four.

Register on the CPCB portal

As a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility, you register on the official ELV EPR portal and declare the correct role and category.

We handle it

We confirm your obligation and complete the registration for you — correct role, correct category.

Meet your targets

Producers have annual scrapping targets based on the weight of steel used in vehicles they sold 15–20 years ago, reflecting average lifespans of 15 years (transport) and 20 years (non-transport). Registration fees are based on turnover (Producers) or scrapping capacity (RVSFs).

We handle it

We meet your annual targets through verified channels and the EPR-certificate / credit system.

File periodic returns

File accurate ELV EPR returns on the portal every cycle, backed by clean records.

We handle it

We prepare and submit every return accurately and on time.

Stay penalty-free

Non-compliance attracts Environmental Compensation (EC) equivalent to the environmental damage caused — levied by CPCB for Producers and by State PCB for RVSFs and Bulk Consumers.

We handle it

We keep your documentation audit-ready so you’re protected from Environmental Compensation.

Why Social Lab
