    Introduction

    The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 (effective from August 22, 2022) replaced the earlier Battery (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001. These rules ensure that used batteries are collected, recycled, or refurbished in an environmentally responsible manner instead of being dumped in landfills or incinerated.

    The regulations apply to all types of batteries – industrial, automotive, portable, and electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

    Under the rules, producers and importers must:

    • Collect and recycle used batteries,
    • Use recovered materials in new battery production,
    • Register with CPCB through the centralized online portal.

    Obtaining an EPR Certificate for Battery Waste Management is mandatory for all battery producers, importers, assemblers, and recyclers.
