However, the pre-requisite for obtaining a licence entails navigating the single-window system portal. Despite several extended deadlines, Goa struggled to find applications last year. However, this year, one individual has secured the licence and acquired land in Marcaim to commence the facility's setup.
Once operational, the facility will mandate the scrapping of commercial and private vehicles aged over 15 years. As the countdown to the commencement of the facility begins, stakeholders anticipate a streamlined process for retiring aged vehicles within the state.
