The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 place clear Extended Producer Responsibility on anyone who places batteries on the Indian market — including batteries built into other products. Targets ramp up year on year, so early registration matters.
Who needs Battery Waste EPR?
- Battery manufacturers and assemblers
- Importers of batteries or battery-powered equipment
- Producers using batteries within their products
What the rules require
Producers must meet year-wise collection and recycling/refurbishment targets, expressed as a percentage of the quantity placed on the market in earlier years. Obligations are met by getting waste batteries to registered recyclers/refurbishers and acquiring the corresponding EPR certificates on the CPCB portal.
Registration steps
- CPCB EPR-portal registration
- Year-wise target mapping from sales data
- Recycler / refurbisher tie-ups
- Portal submissions and EPR certificate management
- Annual returns filing
Documents you'll need
- GST
- IEC (importers)
- Battery sales data
- Chemistry details
