The acronym for EPR’ is “Extended Producer Responsibility,” and it is implemented for producers and importers to be held responsible for the management and disposal of the EV battery waste generated by their supply. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India set up the Extended User Responsibility (EPR) for the waste batteries used in electric vehicles under the Battery Waste Management category.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) approves the EPR registration, which is applied for electric vehicle battery waste. This registration can positively contribute to the environment, such as by reducing tailpipe emissions and minimizing toxic contamination in the environment.
Our team of experts assists the entities in completing the application process for the EPR registration online for the management of electric vehicle battery waste. Our team at Professional Utilities offers services to the entities at every step to get them the certificate of authorization for EV battery waste management within a short amount of time.

Batteries used in electric vehicles are designed particularly to provide propulsion to hybrid and electric vehicles for commuting on the roads. The batteries used in EVs degrade over time and eventually become completely untenable and need to be replaced. The waste EV battery is then recycled, and reusable materials like nickel, cobalt, lithium, and aluminum, which are valuable, are extracted and reused as per the requirements.
Reusable materials are extracted from the electric vehicle battery, such as untenable and degraded parts. The disposal of battery waste can be done by following the guidelines of the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023. To properly dispose of and recycle electric vehicle battery waste, EPR registration is mandatory as per the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023. Additionally, EPR Registration for Consumer Electrical & Electronics Waste is also essential for managing the end-of-life disposal of electronic products in compliance with environmental regulations.
Here are the key benefits of the EPR registration for Electric Vehicle Battery Waste:
Entities with an EPR registration certificate for electric vehicle battery waste management will put advanced technology to use for the recycling of the waste batteries used in EVs. As their recycling facilities evolve, businesses will try to extract more and more materials from electric vehicle battery waste.
The electric vehicle battery waste that is generated throughout the entire shelf life of a product is managed sustainably by following the rules of CPCB EPR registration. To properly dispose of the EV battery waste, producers, manufacturers, and importers must uphold accountability and establish a waste collection system to recycle the electric vehicle battery waste.
To comply with the EPR registration certificate, businesses have to implement recycling plans for the waste batteries used in EVs. Reusable materials like lithium, aluminum, cobalt, and nickel are extracted from the electric vehicle battery waste, which is then reused to produce new batteries used in electric vehicles and avoid spending on new materials unnecessarily.
Here are the complete details of how to apply for the EPR registration for EV battery waste:
Companies will be required to provide detailed information and necessary documents about their products and the electric vehicle battery waste that their products generate. Our experts will go through all the details submitted by the company and then evaluate any inconsistencies.
We proceed to file the CPCB EPR registration for EV battery waste with the authorities of the Central Pollution Control Board after confirming that the details and documents shared by the company are consistent.
Our experts shall file the company details, the application form, and the requisite documents for the registration of CPCB EPR. If any inconsistencies or disparities are brought to the attention of the CPCB authorities, then our team will work to address the said issues.
Once the CPCB authorities have verified the application, company details, and documents, the EPR registration certificate of authorization will be issued for the entity. The EV battery manufacturers, producers, and importers may authorize and institute an EPR plan to complete the annual target after receiving their EPR registration certificate
To obtain the EPR registration certificate for the management of electric vehicle battery waste, manufacturers, producers, and importers must provide all the documents listed below.
Or any manufacturers, producers, or importers who provide batteries used in electric vehicles on the market must acquire an EPR registration certificate for the management of EV battery waste.
The government fees (excluding GST) charged for the EPR registration for electric vehicle battery waste management are structured as shown in the table below.
| Annual Turnover | EPR Registration Fees |
|---|---|
| Less than 5 crore | Rs 10,000 |
| Between 5 and 50 Crores | Rs 20,000 |
| Above 50 Crores | Rs 30,000 |
Note : The EPR registration fee may depend on the quality of waste generated from the battery of an electric vehicle.
The CBCP authorities impose environmental compensation on entities that fail to comply with the guidelines of the EPR registration for waste batteries used in electric vehicles. The imposition of environmental compensation on non-compliance entities falls under the provisions of Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act.
The entity found to be violating any guidelines set by the CPCB or committing complete non-compliance with the guidelines will be issued a notice and will be provided an opportunity to be heard after the 15 days of issuance of the said notice. After that, the CPCB authorities will suspend or cancel their EPR registration certificate for electric vehicle battery waste.
Conclusion
The EPR registration is necessary for manufacturers, producers, and importers to manage the waste generated from the EV battery. To ensure the protection of the environment, EPR registration is implemented, which promotes recycling and refurbishment of reusable materials. Entities that possess an EPR registration certificate of authorization for the management of electric vehicle battery waste benefit from cost savings and a better brand image for marketing while also contributing to the sustainable management of waste batteries. The entities must know about the EPR registration process to get a certificate of authorization and establish EPR plans for efficient management of waste batteries used in EVs.
At Professional Utilities, we leverage our industry knowledge and expertise to help businesses navigate complex regulations, minimize risks, and optimize operations for maximum efficiency and profitability.

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 .
