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
