The Ministry of Industry and Trade recalled the increase in the scrap collection by 10-20% from January 2027

Rates of utilization fee in Russia from the beginning of 2027 will increase by 10-20% depending on the type of equipment, told Autonews.ru in the press service of the Ministry of industry and trade. The amount is indexed annually from January 1, according to the scale that the Russian government approved in 2024.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the gradual increase in rates creates predictable conditions for investment decisions, implementation of joint industrial projects and stimulation of localization of production in Russia. The result of this decision was an increase in the share of Russian equipment in the domestic market to 63.6% for eight months of 2026, the revival of the production of automotive components and the preservation of jobs.

The amount of scrap collection is calculated from the base rate and coefficient. The rate for passenger cars is now 20 thousand rubles, for the rest - 150 thousand rubles. The size of the coefficient is affected by the type and power of the engine, as well as the age of the car. The higher these figures, the greater will be the amount that is laid in the final retail price of the car. When importing by an individual for personal use in Russia cars under 3 years old with an engine capacity of up to 3 liters, a preferential recycling rate is 3.4 thousand rubles.
