Overview

With the growing number of end-of-life vehicles in India, the Government has introduced EPR provisions under the Environment Protection framework for ELVs, effective from 2025. These rules aim to ensure scientific dismantling, recycling, and disposal of vehicles through authorized channels. The ELV EPR framework aligns with circular economy goals and strengthens accountability for vehicle manufacturers and related stakeholders.
