New scrappage policy will boost growth of auto sector: Nitin Gadkari

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has said that Vehicle Scrappage Policy is a win-win policy for all the stakeholders and for the country.

Addressing media on key issues relating to the policy last evening in New Delhi, Mr Gadkari said, the policy will help bring down the air pollution which is major concern for all.

He said, the policy will boost the growth of automobile sector, export and will bring competitiveness.

The Minister said, the government wants to set up at least one scrapping centre and fitness centre in every district of the country.

However, more such centres can be opened in big cities. He said, the centres will generate more employment opportunities for the youth.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Investor Summit in Gujarat on 13th of this month has launched the National Automobile Scrappage Policy and said that the policy will give a new identity to the auto sector and to the mobility of New India.
