Chhattisgarh Industrial Licensing
RVSF License in Chhattisgarh
Legal Authorization for Vehicle Scrapping Businesses
"In Chhattisgarh's growing industrial ecosystem, vehicle scrapping is no longer informal—it is regulated, licensed, and opportunity-driven."
Chhattisgarh stands as one of India's most dynamic industrial and mining-driven states. With rising commercial, mining, and transport vehicle fleets, and the Government's decisive push towards formal vehicle scrapping under the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, unregistered scrapping is no longer viable—or legal.
What is an RVSF & Why It Matters in Chhattisgarh
A Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) is a facility authorized by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) to dismantle and recycle end-of-life vehicles in an environmentally compliant manner.
For Chhattisgarh—with its concentration of mining operations, heavy transport corridors, and industrial manufacturing—RVSF licensing represents both a regulatory necessity and a significant business opportunity.
Mining & Transport Fleets
Heavy-duty vehicles from coal, iron ore, and bauxite operations require compliant disposal
Environmental Compliance
Pollution control in industrial belts demands proper hazardous waste management
End-of-Life Diesel Vehicles
Government mandates for scrapping older commercial vehicles create steady demand
MoRTH Authorized
Government Recognized Facility

Approvals & Regulatory Clearances Required
Establishing an RVSF in Chhattisgarh requires multiple clearances from different regulatory bodies. Here's your comprehensive checklist.
Primary license from Transport Department under MoRTH guidelines
Prior environmental clearance from CECB before construction
Operational permit post-establishment from Pollution Control Board
Authorization under Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 2016
Verification that land is designated for industrial/commercial use
NOC from Fire Department with safety infrastructure verification
Infrastructure Requirements
Minimum Land Area
Adequate space for vehicle storage, dismantling operations, and waste management zones as per MoRTH norms
Machinery & Equipment
Dismantling equipment, cranes, crushers, and material handling infrastructure
Digital Traceability
IT systems for record-keeping, vehicle tracking, and certificate generation
Environmental Safeguards
Proper handling systems for oils, batteries, tyres, and hazardous fluids
Eligibility & Infrastructure Expectations
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has established clear infrastructure and operational standards for Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities. These requirements ensure safe, environmentally compliant operations that protect both workers and surrounding communities.
Meeting these standards isn't just about compliance—it's about establishing a professional operation that can command premium pricing and attract institutional clients including government fleets, mining corporations, and large transport companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, existing scrap dealers can upgrade their operations to become authorized RVSFs. However, this requires meeting MoRTH infrastructure standards, obtaining all necessary environmental clearances, and formal authorization from the Transport Department. Leegal can assess your current setup and guide you through the conversion process.
Absolutely. Mining vehicles—including dumpers, tippers, excavators, and heavy transport vehicles—fall under the purview of vehicle scrapping regulations when they reach end-of-life. Given Chhattisgarh's significant mining sector, there's substantial demand for compliant scrapping of such vehicles.
RVSF authorization is typically valid for a specified period (usually 5-10 years depending on state-specific rules), after which renewal is required. Environmental clearances (CTE/CTO) have their own validity periods and renewal cycles. Leegal provides comprehensive renewal support to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Operating an RVSF involves ongoing compliance requirements including periodic environmental audits, hazardous waste management reporting, digital record maintenance on government portals, and renewal of CTE/CTO before expiry. Non-compliance can result in suspension of operations.
Operating without RVSF authorization can result in facility closure, substantial financial penalties under the Motor Vehicles Act, environmental prosecution under the Environment Protection Act, and criminal liability for hazardous waste violations. The risks far outweigh the investment in proper licensing.
