India’s electrical and electronics market has expanded rapidly over the last few years. Manufacturers, importers and brand owners are introducing a growing number of electronic products into the Indian market, from computers and household appliances to electrical equipment, accessories and industrial electronics.
With this growth comes another responsibility - managing the e-waste generated when these products reach the end of their useful life.
Under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, eligible producers of notified electrical and electronic equipment must obtain registration through the Central Pollution Control Board (CPC EPR Portal.
For businesses, understanding the E-Waste Producer Registration under CPCB is important because registration is directly connected with Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, obligations.
