What is Battery Waste EPR Registration?
The Battery Waste Management Rules (BWMR), 2022 replace the earlier 2001 rules and mandate that all entities involved in the manufacture, import, and sale of batteries in India must obtain EPR Authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
The rules cover all chemistries (Lead-acid, Lithium-ion, Nickel-cadmium, Zinc-air) across four major battery types: Portable batteries, Automotive starter batteries, Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, and Industrial batteries. Producers and EV OEMs must recover designated percentages of precious materials (Lead, Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel) by purchasing EPR certificates from registered battery recyclers.
EV Manufacturers & Importers
Electric two-wheeler, 3-wheeler, car, and bus OEMs must register on the CPCB battery portal prior to commercial dispatch.
Mandatory Material Recovery
Specific minimum recovery rates for Lead (up to 90%) and Lithium/Cobalt/Nickel (up to 70%) mandated by CPCB.
Regulated Battery Categories
All batteries sold or imported into India fall under four distinct classes:
Automotive Starter Batteries
SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) lead-acid batteries for IC engine vehiclesElectric Vehicle (EV) Batteries
Traction battery packs for 2W, 3W, 4W, and commercial EVs (NMC, LFP)Portable Batteries
