It offers a comprehensive account of the automobile recycling systems in developed country vis-a-vis the current scenario in developing nations.

The book also presents a future roadmap for the country.

"India is currently the world's largest manufacturer of two wheelers and fourth largest in production of cars. It is well on the way to meet the automotive mission plan 2016-26 of tripling output within a decade", Ram said.

"The informal industry for scrapping old vehicles, located in crowded residential areas, have neither the capacity nor the capability to tackle the huge increase in end-of-life vehicles which will be generated in near future," he added.

Ram, a full time consultant with TVS Motor has headed the industry panel in the Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers from its inception, the release said.
