C&D Waste Management Rules 2025 India — Complete Guide to EPR Framework, Recycling Targets, IS Codes, CPCB Registration, and Compliance for Builders (2026)

By Yogesh Dhaker

India generates over 100 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste every year — and recycles barely 1%. The new C&D Waste Management Rules 2025 (G.S.R. 219(E)), effective 1 April 2026, introduce India's first Extended Producer Responsibility framework for the construction sector.
