“No increase in prices for Russian-made cars is expected, as measures of state support apply to Russian manufacturers,” Interfax quoted him as saying.

According to Manturov, this also will not affect the price of foreign cars, since the share of indexation of the recycling fee in the cost of such cars ranges from 2% to 5%.

“Thus, a significant increase in the cost of imported equipment in connection with the indexation of disposal rates is also not expected,” the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade assured.

The ministry believes that the indexation of the disposal fee will "balance the necessary costs for the development of the disposal system."

Earlier, the newspaper Kommersant wrote that the government agreed to increase the rates of waste collection on cars in Russia from January 2020.

Later the corresponding resolution of the Cabinet was published.
