Battery EPR — Extended Producer Responsibility for Batteries

Registration and end-to-end compliance support for battery producers, importers and recyclers under the Battery Waste Management Rules, administered through the CPCB EPR framework.

Who needs Battery EPR registration

Battery EPR is mandatory for entities that introduce batteries into the Indian market or handle battery waste. Under the Battery Waste Management Rules, the following parties are covered:

  • Battery producers — manufacturers, importers and brand owners selling batteries or products containing batteries in India
  • Importers of batteries and of equipment containing batteries (for example, electronics and EVs)
  • Recyclers and refurbishers of battery waste

Scope of covered battery types (portable, automotive, industrial and EV) and your specific obligations depend on your business model — we confirm applicability for your case before filing.

What the registration involves

Entity registration

Registration of the producer, importer, recycler or refurbisher on the centralized EPR portal maintained by CPCB.

EPR obligations

Understanding and planning for Extended Producer Responsibility obligations linked to the batteries you place on the market.

Documentation

Preparation and verification of company, product and compliance documents required with the application.

Filing & follow-up

Submission of the application and coordination of queries or clarifications with the authority until registration is granted.

Exact portal forms, annexures and fees can change as CPCB updates the EPR framework — current requirements are verified at the time of your engagement.

How we handle it for you

Like every Sarom engagement, we act as a single point of contact and handle the paperwork and follow-up on your behalf:

  1. Requirement assessment

    We review your products, import or production volumes and business model to confirm that Battery EPR applies to you, and under which category.

  2. Document preparation

    We give you a clear checklist, review the documents you provide and prepare the application set for filing.

  3. Portal filing

    We complete the registration on the CPCB EPR portal and submit the application with the required annexures.

  4. Follow-up to grant

    We track the application, respond to authority queries and coordinate until the registration certificate is issued — then hand over everything you need for ongoing compliance.
