The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and Tata Motors signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 18 June 2026, bringing India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer into a government scheme aimed at replacing old trucks and buses operating in the Delhi-NCR region.
Under the terms of the agreement, Tata Motors will offer an 8% discount on the ex-showroom price of eligible vehicles purchased under the scheme. For electric vehicles, the discount will be capped at the level applicable to an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle in the equivalent Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) category.
Scheme Context
The programme is part of a broader effort by the central government to reduce the number of ageing, high-emission commercial vehicles on roads in the Delhi-NCR airshed, where vehicular pollution is a persistent concern. The MoU mechanism brings original equipment manufacturers directly into the scheme, with manufacturer-level discounts supplementing any other scrapping or replacement incentives available to fleet operators.
Tata Motors joins other OEMs that have already signed similar agreements with MoRTH under the same framework.
