The term "EPR" stands for "Extended Producers Responsibility" which is obligatory for manufacturers, producers and importers that supply electrical and electronic and related products. The Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) was instituted by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India to manage waste of different categories. Manufacturers, producers and importers with EPR registration to implement configurative measures to reduce the generation of consumer electrical and electronics waste in accordance with the E Waste Management Rules, 2022.
The manufacturers, producers and importers are required to recycle, re-use and dispose of consumer electrical and electronics waste generated by their products and complete the annual target of CPCB EPR registration and comply with the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2022. We, the team of Professional Utilities, provide our assistance to the manufacturers, producers and importers to file for online EPR Registration Process with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). The manufacturers, producers and importers will be issued an EPR Registration certificate without any inconvenience and in a timely manner.

Consumer electrical and electronics equipment includes Television sets (including, LCD and LED screens), refrigerator, washing machine, air-conditioners, plants and more. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has the authority to administer the management of consumer electronics and electrical waste. Manufacturers, producers and importers that supply electrical and electronic products in the Indian market are mandated to obtain EPR registration and obey the CPCB regulations to properly manage consumer electrical and electronics waste in an environmentally sustainable way. Additionally, EPR Registration for Electric Vehicle Battery Waste is also essential to ensure responsible recycling and disposal of EV batteries in compliance with environmental norms.
As per the CPCB guidelines, the consumer electrical and electronics waste generators are classified as:-
Or any other entity that produces or imports consumer electrical and electronics and generates waste must get an EPR registration to manage and dispose of the consumer electrical and electronics waste.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
