The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and Tata Motors signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 18 June 2026, bringing India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer into the government’s vehicle replacement initiative for the Delhi-NCR region.
Under the agreement, Tata Motors will provide an 8% discount on the ex-showroom price of eligible commercial vehicles purchased under the scheme. For electric vehicles (EVs), the discount will be capped at the level applicable to a comparable Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle within the same Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) category.
Supporting Cleaner Transport in Delhi-NCR
The scheme forms part of the central government’s broader strategy to phase out ageing, high-emission commercial vehicles and improve air quality across the Delhi-NCR airshed. By partnering directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the programme aims to encourage fleet operators to replace older trucks and buses with newer, cleaner alternatives.
The manufacturer-backed discounts offered under the MoU are intended to complement existing scrappage and replacement incentives available under the scheme.
Tata Motors joins a growing list of OEMs that have entered into similar agreements with MoRTH, strengthening industry participation in the government’s efforts to modernize the commercial vehicle fleet and reduce transport-related emissions in the region.
