Who we collect from in Bengaluru
OEM head offices and engineering centres produce prototype and validation packs, recall and warranty returns routed through central teams, and programme fleet retirements. Volumes are lumpy but the packs are often high-value and come with full engineering data.
- OEM sustainability and aftersales teams
- Engineering and validation centres
- Programme and demo fleets
- Recall coordination teams
How a Bengaluru collection runs
We work under a framework take-back agreement with the OEM's central sustainability or aftersales team, covering pricing methodology, EPR certificate transfer and confidential handling of prototype hardware, including destruction certificates where required.

Grading via Hosur, Tamil Nadu
Every module is tested for capacity, DC resistance and impedance so value is set on measurement, not on age.

Certificate issued
A recovery certificate with achieved percentages per metal and downstream vendor disclosure, in a form accepted for CPCB EPR filings.
The rules in India
Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 (BWMR)
Regulator: Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards
The Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 put extended producer responsibility on everyone who places batteries on the Indian market, including EV batteries. Producers and recyclers register on the CPCB's centralised EPR portal. Registered recyclers generate EPR certificates for the quantities they process, and producers buy these to meet their collection targets. The rules also set rising material recovery targets and phase in minimum use of domestically recycled content.
- Register as a producer on the CPCB EPR portal and file annual returns
- Meet EPR targets with certificates from registered recyclers
- Use recyclers holding State Pollution Control Board consent to operate
- Plan for rising minimum recovery and recycled-content requirements

Recycling in Bengaluru: common questions
Where can I recycle an EV battery in Bengaluru?
Retired EV packs in Bengaluru are collected on a 24-hour SLA across a 68 km radius and processed through Bengaluru — Hosur Diagnostics Centre. Book a pickup and the despatch desk confirms a window within one working day.
How much does EV battery recycling cost in Bengaluru?
Most healthy packs carry positive value rather than a cost: modules above 75% state of health settle at second-life rates and the remainder settles against contained metal. Heavily damaged packs can carry a handling charge.
Which rules apply to battery waste in Bengaluru?
Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 (BWMR), overseen by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards. Retired packs move as hazardous goods by road under central motor vehicle rules, and export needs Basel-compliant permissions.
What kind of material do you collect in Bengaluru?
As a oem head office, Bengaluru mainly produces programme returns & engineering packs. Collections run called off against a framework agreement.
