The program began this year in the second half of March, with a budget of RON228 million. The Government said at the time that the ceiling might be increased, depending on market demand.
Around 50,000 old cars have been scrapped through the program so far.
Last year, some 190,000 cars were scrapped and 63,000 cars, including 26,000 made locally, were bought through the cash-for-clunkers program.
