MOTOR CARAVAN
Background:
 Tourism Ministry has
announced a policy for
promotion and
development of Caravan
Tourism in India as a niche
sector.
 In general, construction of
caravans require second
stage of manufacturing. In
India such vehicle alteration
is considered as violation of
Motor Vehicle Act.
 Motor caravan
manufacturers are facing
difficulty in registration of
caravans due to lack of clear
guidelines.
9th SIAM-JAMA Meeting ,Goa
Accordingly AIS 124 was prepared which lays down the
type approval requirements applicable to motor
caravans of category M.
This standard is applicable to:
a) Motor caravan manufactured by vehicle
manufacturer.
b) Motor caravan which are built by motor
caravan body builder on registered vehicle
which is not older than 3 years.

END OF LIFE VEHICLE (ELV)
 Vehicles produced around the world use millions of tonnes of resources such as Metals, Glass,
Plastic Compounds, Rubber and Synthetic Materials, Leather and Fabric etc
 At the end of life of every vehicle or after scrapping of the Vehicle, these materials are again
released back to the Nature
 In India, a substantial amount of vehicles (including old Vehicles, Vehicles undergone accidents,
orphan/abandoned vehicles) are scrapped every year, however it is done mostly through the
unorganized sector and currently no standardized procedure exists for such activities

Based on the Regulations/Directives already implemented across Europe and other countries,
Government of India decided to formulate such Standard which will take care of the following:
