India's first car shredding & recycling facility by Mahindra

Mahindra Intertrade Ltd. (a part of Mahindra group) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Metal Scrap Trading Corporation Ltd. (MSTC) to set up India's first Auto shredding facility.

The shredding facility will also be extracting huge amounts of steel, aluminium, plastic and rubber which can be recycled. These could become essential supply materials for Mahindra Intertrade which operates a wide network of steel services in the country. Also, with this plant, the company will be able to facilitate the increasing needs of steel in the car manufacturing industry.

Auto shredding in India isn't as sophisticated as in the west. Currently, vehicles which are out of use aren't disposed off in an environment-friendly manner. Mahindra says the proposed facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art, fully automated end-of-life vehicle recycling equipment.
