EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY COMPLIANCE UNDER E-WASTE & BATTERY WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES, 2022
EPR for E-Waste is a mandatory compliance framework under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). It places legal responsibility on producers, importers, and manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) to ensure responsible collection, channelization, and recycling of end-of-life products.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) manages EPR registration for e-waste through a dedicated online portal. Companies must meet annual collection targets and maintain detailed records of e-waste channelized to registered dismantlers or recyclers.
From consumer electronics and IT equipment to large household appliances and solar panels.
All entities placing electrical and electronic equipment on the Indian market must comply.
Large/small household appliances, IT & telecom, Consumer equipment, Lighting, Electrical tools, Solar panels
Separate registration for Producers, Dismantlers, Recyclers, and Refurbishers is mandatory.

EPR for Battery Waste is a regulatory obligation under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). It mandates that all producers, importers, and brand owners of batteries must ensure the responsible collection and recycling of end-of-life batteries (ELBs) to prevent hazardous waste pollution.
CPCB administers EPR registration for batteries through its centralised portal. The rules cover all battery types — from portable batteries and automotive batteries to industrial and EV batteries — requiring registered entities to meet progressive annual collection targets.
Portable, automotive, industrial, electric vehicle, and stationary batteries are all covered under the Rules.
Any entity producing, importing, or branding batteries for use in India must comply.
Portable batteries, Automotive batteries, Industrial batteries, Electric vehicle batteries, Stationary batteries
Batteries contain toxic heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury) requiring safe disposal, making EPR a critical environmental mandate.
Identify the battery type (portable, automotive, EV, industrial) and assess EPR obligations.
Compile company registration, PAN, GST, IEC, battery product list, and annual sales data.
Register on the CPCB Battery Waste EPR portal and upload all required documents.
Declare annual battery sales volume and set mandatory collection targets per CPCB norms.
CPCB scrutinises the application and issues Battery EPR authorisation certificate upon approval.
Channel waste batteries to registered recyclers, buy credits if needed, and file quarterly returns.
