India's Extended Producer Responsibility rules for scrap of aluminium, copper, zinc and their alloys, which came into force on 1 April 2026 under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2025, are facing implementation gaps ahead of their October 2026 deadlines, Business Standard reported on 20 September 2026. Industry sources said the Central Pollution Control Board's online compliance portal, due to become functional by 1 October under Rule 50(3), remains inoperative, while the average life parameter CPCB must specify to calculate each producer's annual recycling target has not yet been published. The rules set the recycling target at 10 percent of the relevant year's non-ferrous product quantity for 2026-27, and the first half yearly compliance returns are due by 31 October 2026.
