If you deal in batteries in India - whether as a manufacturer, importer, brand owner, assembler, or battery recycler- EPR Battery Registration under CPCB is not optional; it is a legal compulsion. Battery waste generates heavy metals, lithium discharge, acid components and chemical residues, and therefore the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) mandates every battery seller to take responsibility for its collection, recycling, and safe disposal.

This registration is issued under Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, and it applies to every business that places batteries into the Indian market. From EV batteries to portable cells, UPS backups to industrial batteries- all entities must ensure scientific recycling, return tracking and annual EPR compliance reporting.

What is EPR Battery Waste Registration?

EPR Battery Registration is a government authorization that requires companies to collect back used batteries, fulfil recycling targets, and submit annual returns to CPCB.
It is issued through the CPCB EPR Battery Portal, and is mandatory before selling batteries in India.

Who Needs It?

  • Battery manufacturers
  • Battery importers
  • EV vehicle manufacturers
  • Inverter/UPS battery brands
  • OEMs using lithium cells
  • Lead-acid battery manufacturers
  • Assembling units & distributors
  • e-Waste extended producers introducing batteries in products

If your business introduces battery waste into the market, you are legally bound to recover it.
