2 million in FY\u202f2005 to 5.4\u202fmillion today, but replacements haven\u2019t kept pace\u2014raising the average truck age to 10 years, the highest in 20 years. Stricter axle-load rules in 2018, BS\u2011VI cost hikes in 2020, and pandemic-related cash constraints have delayed fleet renewal.<\/p><p>From October\u202f2024, vehicles older than 15 years must pass mandatory fitness tests or face scrappage, affecting about 1.1\u202fmillion trucks. Despite incentives like tax waivers and OEM discounts, new truck costs (\u20b935\u201340\u202flakh) remain steep. Older trucks incur 5\u20137% higher diesel usage and double maintenance costs.<\/p><p>As capacity shrinks, spot freight rates on key lanes may rise 2\u20135%, with contract rates climbing 5\u20138% into FY\u202f2026\u201327. Though expensive short-term, a large-scale replacement offers long-term gains in efficiency and road freight sustainability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
