Govt plans incentives if vehicles older than 15 years are scrapped
Bengaluru, June 27: On the lines of Delhi government, the state government is mulling to announce the incentives if the owners of the diesel vehicles older than 15 years scrapped their vehicles.
Speaking to reporters at the Vikasa Soudha, Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister R Shankar said that if the diesel vehicles above 15 years of old were scrapped, the government would give Rs 30,000 incentive to the owners. Both Departments of Transport and Ecology have announced that they would jointly give Rs 30,000 incentive to the owner of the diesel vehicle if it was scrapped. But there was a demand to increase the amount to Rs 60,000, he said.
Among the most polluted cities in the world, the cities of the country have also got the places. So, if the incentive was increased to Rs 50,000, then the owners of the old vehicles could come forward to scrap their vehicles, he said.
