The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 (notified August 22, 2022) establish EPR obligations for battery producers, importers, and bulk consumers in India. Key provisions: (1) Producers must register with CPCB; (2) Annual EPR targets for battery collection and recycling; (3) EPR certificates must be obtained from registered entities; (4) Annual returns must be filed with CPCB. Non-compliance can result in penalties under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Epragathi Recycling is a registered entity under these rules, enabling us to issue valid battery EPR certificates.

Yes. We accept and recycle EV battery packs — including lithium-ion modules from electric vehicles, e-bikes, and electric scooters. EV batteries contain valuable lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese that we recover through our certified process. For large-format EV battery modules, special logistics arrangements are required — contact us in advance for planning. EV battery recycling is subject to the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022.

Yes, you can send mixed battery types in one pickup — however, we request that you store them separately in your facility (Li-ion separate from lead-acid, etc.) and label them accordingly to help our team during collection. At our facility, batteries are segregated by chemistry before processing. If you're unsure how to separate them, our collection team can assist at pickup.

You receive: (1) Weight certificate — total weight in MT per battery chemistry; (2) Battery EPR certificate — legally valid for CPCB annual return filing under Battery Waste Rules 2022; (3) Material recovery report — metals recovered per category (lithium, cobalt, lead, etc.); (4) Disposal certificate — confirming zero-landfill disposal. All documents are issued within [X] business days of processing completion.

No minimum quantity. We accept everything from a handful of UPS batteries to truckloads of EV battery packs. For very small quantities in remote locations, a logistics cost may apply. Contact us with your volume and location for a transparent quote.

Under the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022, it is a legal obligation for producers, importers, and bulk consumers of electrical and electronic equipment to ensure their e-waste is channelled through a CPCB-authorised recycler and obtain an EPR certificate. Simply discarding e-waste through general waste or unregistered dealers is illegal and can result in penalties under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986.
