The Mission: A Circular, Sustainable, and Low-Emission Future
With its core theme, “Recycling, Circularity, and Sustainability in Mobility,” the conclave seeks to align the Indian automotive ecosystem with global best practices on environmental responsibility. The event aims to be a catalyst for change — putting focus on how vehicles and its associated components are designed, manufactured, consumed, and ultimately, responsibly retired. From NATRAX, a vision has been put in place to adapt to global emerging circularity practice of 9R (Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, and Recycle) in Indian Mobility Ecosystem.
In view of the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Management Rules and a rising need for compliance under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the conclave arrives at a critical juncture.
Why This Conclave?
India is poised to witness 80 million EVs on the road by 2030. But without parallel efforts in circular economy practices, recycling infrastructure, and emission reduction, green mobility may not be truly green. The European Union already recovers 95% of vehicle materials from scrapped vehicles, a benchmark India must realistically chase.
Switching to recycled materials, embracing bio-based alternatives, and integrating green energy into manufacturing are not just environmental mandates anymore — they are strategic business moves. Reduction in import dependency and a stable supply chain is the need of the hour. On top, the Conclave aims to echo the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of positioning India as a leader in global sustainability efforts.
What to Expect?
This two-day summit is designed to bring together a powerful mix of automotive manufacturers, recyclers, government leaders, startups, and academic minds. And the agenda? Packed with purpose.
