MSTC & MMTC Share Price Surge After Delhi-NCR ScrappageScheme

 

By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)
 

Summary:


The Union Cabinet on June 3, 2026, approved a ₹9,585 crore two-year incentive scheme to phase out BS IV and older commercial vehicles in Delhi NCR. The Centre will contribute ₹5,041 crore, while participating states will provide about ₹1,601 crore in tax concessions. Around 2.07 lakh vehicle owners across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh are eligible under the scheme.

The Union Cabinet, on June 3, 2026, approved a two-year scheme worth ₹9,585 crore to replace ageing trucks and buses in the Delhi-National Capital Region with cleaner alternatives. The announcement led to a sharp rise in shares of scrappage-linked public sector undertakings such as MMTC and MSTC during the session. 

MSTC surges 18%, MMTC gains 4%

MSTC rose 18% to ₹528 as of 3:05 PM on June 4, 2026, making it one of the session's top gainers. MMTC climbed 4% to ₹68. Both are Miniratna public sector enterprises with direct exposure to the vehicle scrappage and metal recycling business.

MSTC operates one of India's largest e-auction platforms for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, end-of-life vehicles, and surplus government assets. It also co-promotes CERO, a registered vehicle scrapping facility joint venture with Mahindra Accelo, with units in Greater Noida and Pune. A high volume of commercial vehicles entering the scrappage process under this scheme would add directly to MSTC's auction pipeline.

MMTC trades in ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, including heavy melting scrap and shredded steel scrap, through its operations and joint ventures. Increased end-of-life vehicle supply from the NCR adds to its trading addressable market.

Scheme Structure and Financial Outlay

The programme, referred to as the "Naya Safar" scheme, aims to retire BS-IV and older commercial vehicles from NCR roads and replace them with BS-VI-compliant or electric vehicles. It will be funded through the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and implemented jointly by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

Of the total ₹9,585 crore outlay, the Central Government will contribute ₹5,041 crore. The four participating states – Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh – are estimated to add approximately ₹1,601 crore through tax concessions. The scheme carries a two-year window and is targeted for rollout by October–November 2026.

Who is Eligible and What are the Conditions?

The scheme is expected to cover approximately 2.07 lakh vehicle owners, around 1.91 lakh truck owners and 16,329 bus owners across the four states. It applies to privately held trucks and buses registered within NCR that comply with BS-IV or earlier emission norms. Government-owned vehicles are excluded.

Owners of BS-III and older vehicles must scrap their vehicles at registered scrapping facilities. BS-IV owners have the choice of either scrapping the vehicle or selling it outside the NCR in non-National Clean Air Programme cities before buying a replacement. To receive benefits, owners must register a new BS-VI-compliant or electric vehicle within the region. In Delhi, replacement light goods vehicles must be electric, while buses qualify only if they are BS-VI CNG-powered or electric.

Incentive Package on Offer

The Central Government will provide a 5% interest subvention on vehicle loans for five years, along with monthly fuel vouchers of up to ₹4,800 per vehicle and lump-sum incentives for EV purchases or Certificate of Deposit trading. Participating manufacturers will offer an 8% discount on ex-showroom prices of replacement vehicles. State governments will waive registration fees and provide motor vehicle tax concessions, up to 100% on new vehicles and 50% on pre-owned vehicles, for ten years. Outstanding dues on eligible scrapped vehicles will also be waived, and a digital platform will administer the full process.

Despite the package, the All India Transporters' Welfare Association has flagged early concerns, noting that the combined incentive works out to roughly 22%, which it says may not be enough to make full fleet replacement economically viable for all operators.

Why Does the Scheme Carry Significance for Air Quality?

Trucks and buses account for 36% of PM2.5 emissions from Delhi-NCR's transport sector, despite making up just 3% of the total vehicle fleet. A single pre-BS vehicle can produce pollution equivalent to 14 BS-VI-compliant heavy vehicles. Vehicles certified under BS-I to BS-IV emit approximately 67% more carbon monoxide and 97% more particulate matter than BS-VI vehicles, according to a joint study by ARAI and TERI.

Conclusion

The scheme's actual impact on scrappage volumes and clean vehicle demand will depend heavily on uptake once the implementation infrastructure is in place by the end of 2026. The concern raised by transporter bodies around incentive adequacy is worth tracking, as it will influence the number of vehicle owners who actually participate within the two-year window.
