For automobile manufacturers, assemblers, private-label vehicle brands and vehicle importers, understanding End-of-Life Vehicle EPR Registration in India is now an important part of environmental compliance.
Conclusion
End-of-Life Vehicle EPR Registration in India has created a structured compliance system for vehicle manufacturers, brands, assemblers and importers.
Under the Environment Protection (End-of-Life Vehicles) Rules, 2025, producers must register with CPCB, calculate their EPR obligations, work within the registered vehicle-scrapping ecosystem and fulfil applicable targets through EPR certificates.
