EV (Electric Vehicle) Scrapping in India

Scrap Your EV Legally with CarBasket

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are fast becoming the future of mobility in India. With more carmakers offering EVs, government subsidies, and growing charging infrastructure, adoption is on the rise. But just like petrol and diesel vehicles, EVs too reach the end-of-life (ELV) stage after years of use, battery degradation, or accident damage.

At CarBasket, we specialize in legal EV scrapping services across India, ensuring that your old or damaged electric vehicle is dismantled, recycled, and disposed of in compliance with the Vehicle Scrappage Policy 2021. We provide a scrap certificate, enabling you to deregister your vehicle and also claim any available incentives for buying a new EV or car.

Why EV Scrapping is Different from Regular Vehicle Scrapping

Scrapping an EV is not the same as scrapping a petrol or diesel vehicle. Electric Vehicles come with lithium-ion batteries, electric motors, and high-voltage wiring that require specialized handling. If not disposed of properly, these components can harm the environment and even cause safety hazards.

CarBasket partners with authorized scrapping facilities that follow eco-friendly recycling processes, ensuring safe disposal of:

Lithium-ion batteries (repurposed or recycled safely)
Electric motors & controllers
Electronic parts & sensors
Metal body & chassis
Plastic, glass, and interior parts

By scrapping your EV with us, you contribute to the circular economy and ensure your vehicle’s harmful components do not end up polluting the soil or water.

Documents Required for EV (Electric Vehicle) Scrapping

Battery Warranty/Ownership Papers (if available)
Loan NOC from Bank/Financier (for financed EVs)

Since EVs come with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, authorized scrapping requires additional compliance. CarBasket ensures that both your vehicle and its battery pack are processed safely. Once scrapped, we provide you with a valid Scrap Certificate, which you can use for RTO deregistration and to claim any state or manufacturer incentives for purchasing a new EV.
