Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 mandates the Producers of all types of batteries regardless of chemistry, shape, volume, weight, material composition and use to apply on Centralized Online Portal for Battery Waste Management for grant of registration under these Rules. RAI highlighted that there is no recycler in CPCB approved list of recyclers for Nickel Cadmium battery which makes Nickel Cadmium metal fulfilment impossible. Further filing of annual report without all metals credit availability is not possible. Hence, RAI has requested to extend the date for filing of annual report till the time we have some recyclers for Nickel Cadmium battery.
