Govt bans export of unsorted waste, scrap of lithium-ion batteries
Reported by: BusinessLine, CNBC TV18, Economic Times, ET Now ·
Summary
The government has banned the export of unsorted battery waste and scrap with immediate effect. ET Now reported the ban as immediate. The Economic Times said it applies to primary cells, batteries and electric accumulators that do not contain hazardous substances. Primary cells are single-use batteries, the kind that cannot be recharged. Electric accumulators are rechargeable batteries. Unsorted means the waste and scrap has not been separated by type before shipment. The reports do not give a reason for the ban, a date of notification or any penalty for breaking it. A ban on exports means such material cannot be shipped out of India.
