Abstract

In the Globalization era, pollution from old vehicles is increasing faster. This may lead to changing the vehicle or to curtail vehicle pollution, which may result in the scrapping of old vehicles. To complement and supplement Government of India passed Vehicle Scrappage Policy in FY2021, a pilot study was conducted to know the public awareness of Vehicle Scrappage Policy. An effective policy related to vehicle scrapping cannot be successfully implemented unless large number of people supports policies on Government intervention. This paper aims to explore the public comprehension and acceptability about Vehicle Scrappage Policy after creating awareness in Bengaluru, India. In this study, methods adopted are Pilot study through market survey, statistical analysis and encompasses relevant literature review. After the survey, people have awareness about the Policy but unsure of fringe benefits one can attain from Government. Therefore, creating awareness and advertisement on the Vehicle Scrappage Programs along with benefits both economically and environmentally to the Country are warranted.
