Tyre EPR Registration: What It Covers

Tyre EPR is the mechanism through which manufacturers, importers, brand owners and OEMs placing tyres in the Indian market — and the retreaders/recyclers who process end-of-life tyres (ELTs) — meet their responsibilities under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules provisions covering tyre waste. It applies to vehicle tyres across categories, whether sold directly, fitted to new vehicles, or imported.

Registration and the obligations that follow depend on your specific role and the volume of tyres you place in the market or process. For a general explanation of what an EPR certificate is or how EPR registration works across waste streams, see our EPR Certificate and EPR Registration pages. This page focuses specifically on requirements for tyre waste.

Who Needs Tyre EPR Registration?

  • Tyre manufacturers producing tyres across categories — automotive, commercial, off-road or two-/three-wheeler.
  • Importers bringing tyres into India directly, or as part of imported vehicles and equipment.
  • Brand owners and OEMs selling tyres under their own label or fitting them to vehicles sold in India.
  • Retreaders and recyclers engaged in retreading, recycling or processing of end-of-life tyres.

If your business falls into any of these roles and places tyres — or tyre-fitted products — in the Indian market, or processes waste tyres, Tyre EPR obligations are likely to apply. An initial assessment can confirm your specific category.

Documents Required for Tyre EPR Registration

The CPCB Tyre EPR portal typically requires the following, though the exact list can vary by category and business structure:

Business identification

  • Certificate of Incorporation, Partnership Deed or equivalent registration proof
  • Company PAN and GST registration certificate
  • Identification proof of the authorized signatory managing EPR compliance and portal communication

Trade and product details

  • Import Export Code (for importers)
  • List of tyre types/models manufactured, imported or marketed, with volumes
  • For recyclers/retreaders: proof of processing facility and any applicable state pollution control board authorization

EPR action plan and compliance history

  • An EPR action plan describing collection, storage, transport and recycling/retreading arrangements for end-of-life tyres
  • Agreements or tie-ups with registered recyclers or retreaders
  • Previous EPR certificate and past return filings, if applying for renewal

Product and business details are used to establish your applicant category and the targets that will apply. Incomplete or inconsistent information across documents is a common cause of delay — check that company name, GST details and product information match across every document before submission.

Tyre EPR Registration Process

  1. Eligibility and category assessment

    We review your tyre categories, business role (manufacturer, importer, brand owner, retreader or recycler) and volumes to confirm applicability.

  2. Document collection and review

    We collect the required documents and check them for completeness and consistency before submission.

  3. EPR action plan preparation

    We help draft an action plan covering collection, storage, transport and recycling/retreading arrangements in the format expected by CPCB.

  4. CPCB portal submission

    We create and submit your application on the CPCB Tyre EPR portal (eprtyres.cpcb.gov.in), including all supporting documents, and manage the registration fee payment.

  5. Query handling

    If CPCB raises clarifications or requests additional information, we help prepare and submit the response.

Processing timelines depend on documentation completeness, regulatory review, and whether any queries are raised during the application — we don't quote a fixed number of days, since the CPCB review process is outside our control.

After Tyre EPR Registration

Registration is the starting point, not the end, of Tyre EPR compliance. Registered entities are generally expected to:

  • Work toward collection and recycling/retreading targets applicable to their category
  • File periodic returns on the CPCB portal reporting tyre volumes placed in the market and waste collected
  • Maintain records and agreements with CPCB-registered recyclers or retreaders
  • Renew registration before expiry and update the portal if business details or product categories change

Where collection or recycling targets are not met, the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules provide for Environmental Compensation and other regulatory measures. Because rates and provisions are updated periodically, we recommend confirming current figures directly with CPCB or during a compliance review rather than relying on a fixed number — we have not listed specific penalty amounts here to avoid quoting figures that may no longer be current.

For general guidance on ongoing EPR obligations across waste streams, see our EPR Compliance page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tyre manufacturers, importers, brand owners, and recyclers or retreaders who process end-of-life tyres fall within the scope of the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules provisions covering tyre EPR. A business performing more than one role may need to register accordingly for each.

Typically: incorporation proof, PAN and GST certificates, an Import Export Code for importers, product and sales details, an EPR action plan, and, for recyclers/retreaders, proof of facility and applicable state authorization.

Applications are submitted on the CPCB Tyre EPR portal (eprtyres.cpcb.gov.in) along with supporting documents, the EPR action plan and the applicable registration fee.

Registered entities are expected to work toward applicable collection and recycling targets, engage CPCB-registered recyclers or retreaders, and file periodic returns on the CPCB portal.

The Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules provide for Environmental Compensation and other regulatory measures for shortfalls. Current rates and provisions should be confirmed with CPCB, as these are updated periodically.

We assist with eligibility assessment, documentation, EPR action plan drafting, CPCB portal submission and post-registration filing support. Final registration decisions rest with CPCB.
