What Is EPR Tyre Registration for Producers?
Tyres eventually wear out, but a manufacturer's responsibility does not end when they are sold. Under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), companies that manufacture and sell new tyres in India must meet certain waste tyre recycling targets. CPCB places these businesses under the P1 producer category.
EPR tyre registration for producers is completed through the Central Pollution Control Board’s online portal. Once registered, producers should keep their records, meet annual recycling targets, acquire EPR certificates and submit necessary returns.
This page explains the documents needed for CPCB EPR tyre registration, the application process, government fees and registration validity. It also covers EPR target calculations, certificate purchases, filing requirements and how Corpseed can help tyre manufacturers manage their compliance.
For a domestic tyre manufacturer, the page also sets out the EPR tyre registration process and how to use the CPCB EPR portal for waste tyres for a P1 application.
Legal Framework for EPR Tyre Registration in India
Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
EPR for waste tyres is governed by the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has formulated special rules for waste tyres from July 2022. The online registration process is overseen by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Schedule IX and CPCB Guidelines for Tyre Producers
Schedule IX explains what tyre manufacturers must do to meet their recycling responsibilities. It covers registration, EPR targets, recycling certificates, return filing and action against non-compliance.
The government has also made changes to these rules over time.
| Government notification | Date | Relevance to domestic tyre manufacturers |
| G.S.R. 593(E) | 21 July 2022 | Introduced Schedule IX and the waste tyre EPR framework. |
| G.S.R. 177(E) | 12 March 2024 | Amended provisions relating to EPR certificate exchange and return-filing extensions. |
| G.S.R. 698(E) | 12 November 2024 | Revised the provision on action for contravention under Schedule IX. |
Domestic tyre manufacturers should follow the rules and CPCB instructions applicable to their business.
Types of Tyres Covered Under EPR Registration for Producers
EPR registration for tyre manufacturers covers different types of new tyres made and sold in India. CPCB asks manufacturers to provide details of these tyres while applying for registration and filing returns.
The main tyre categories include:
| Tyre category in CPCB reporting | Common application |
| Motorcycle tyres | Motorcycles |
| Scooter tyres | Scooters |
| Passenger car tyres | Passenger cars |
| Truck tyres | Trucks and goods vehicles |
| Bus tyres | Passenger buses |
| LCV tyres | Light commercial vehicles |
| Tractor rear tyres | Rear tyres used on tractors |
| Off-the-road (OTR) tyres | Mining, construction and other off-road equipment |
| Others | Other tyre types listed in the CPCB reporting format |
Manufacturers must report the quantity of tyres produced and sold in India. The information should be provided in metric tonnes (MT), along with the relevant tyre classifications.
If a company has more than one manufacturing plant, it must also maintain plant-wise data.
These records help CPCB work out the manufacturer's EPR recycling obligation. A separate registration is not automatically required for every tyre type.
EPR Tyre Registration Requirements for Manufacturers
Companies that manufacture and sell new tyres in India fall under the P1 producer category on the CPCB EPR portal.
Before applying, a tyre manufacturer should have its company documents and production records ready.
The main requirements include:
- Valid business identification details, including PAN and GST information.
- Details of the person authorised to apply on behalf of the company.
- Information about the company's tyre manufacturing plants.
- Year-wise records of new tyres manufactured.
- Details of new tyres sold in India.
- Tyre categories, composition and weight information.
- Signed declarations and other documents required by CPCB.
The information entered on the portal must match the company's records. Differences in company details, manufacturing quantities or financial years can lead to questions during application review.
Companies carrying out other regulated tyre-related activities may have additional obligations, which should be checked separately.
EPR registration for tyre manufacturing companies should be prepared using their own P1 production and domestic sales records. This helps keep the application focused on the manufacturer's actual business activity.
EPR Obligations and Recycling Targets for Tyre Producers
EPR Targets for Domestic Tyre Manufacturers
Under Schedule IX, tyre manufacturers must meet recycling targets based on the quantity of new tyres manufactured in earlier years.
The targets were introduced gradually and increased to 100% of the applicable base quantity from FY 2024-25.
| Compliance financial year | Reference financial year for new tyres | Base EPR recycling target |
| FY 2022-23 | FY 2020-21 | 35% |
| FY 2023-24 | FY 2021-22 | 70% |
| FY 2024-25 | FY 2022-23 | 100% |
| FY 2025-26 | FY 2023-24 | 100% |
| FY 2026-27 | FY 2024-25 | 100% |
The table shows the base target for established new tyre manufacturers. The final CPCB obligation may reflect the applicable wear-and-tear factor, export exclusions and carried-forward adjustments.
For established manufacturers, CPCB generally uses the relevant manufacturing quantity from the two financial years earlier.
The final obligation may be lower after applying the permitted wear-and-tear adjustment and excluding eligible exports.
EPR Obligations for Newly Established Tyre Manufacturing Units
New tyre manufacturing units also come under the EPR rules.
For units established after 1 April 2022, Schedule IX provides that their recycling obligation begins after two years. The target is then calculated using the relevant manufacturing quantity from two years earlier.
However, the company must still complete the applicable registration and maintain its records.
CPCB registration for new tyre manufacturing units should therefore be considered separately from the date their first recycling obligation becomes due.
How Are EPR Targets Calculated for Tyre Producers?
EPR Target Calculation Formula
A tyre manufacturer's EPR target depends mainly on how many new tyres it manufactured during the relevant financial year.
The basic calculation is:
EPR Target = Eligible Tyre Manufacturing Quantity × Applicable Recycling Percentage
For established manufacturers, the calculation generally uses the quantity from two financial years earlier.
CPCB also considers a wear-and-tear adjustment. Its published SOP refers to a 20% reduction when calculating the EPR obligation.
Year-Wise EPR Recycling Targets
For example, the FY 2026-27 EPR target is based on the applicable manufacturing quantity from FY 2024-25.
Manufacturers should check their production records, domestic sales and export quantities before calculating the final target.
Maintaining an EPR target calculation sheet for each financial year can make it easier to compare the company's figures with the obligation shown on the portal.
Example of EPR Calculation for Tyre Manufacturers
Suppose a tyre company manufactured an eligible quantity of 500 MT of new tyres in FY 2024-25.
Its base EPR target for FY 2026-27 would be:
Eligible manufacturing quantity: 500 MT
Recycling target: 100%
Base EPR obligation: 500 MT
Wear-and-tear adjustment: 20%
Illustrative adjusted EPR obligation: 400 MT
This is only an example. The actual obligation should be checked on the CPCB portal after considering all applicable adjustments and any previous shortfalls.
How Do EPR Certificates Work for Tyre Producers?
Tyre manufacturers do not have to set up their own recycling plants to meet their EPR targets. They can meet their recycling obligations by buying eligible EPR certificates from recyclers registered on the CPCB portal.
EPR Recycling Certificates
An EPR recycling certificate represents a certain quantity of waste tyres recycled through the approved system.
A tyre manufacturer buys these certificates to meet its annual EPR obligation.
The certificates are valid for two years from the end of the financial year in which they were generated, unless they are used or cancelled earlier.
EPR Retreading Certificates
Retreading means giving a suitable used tyre a new tread so it can be used again.
A tyre manufacturer may use eligible retreading certificates to defer the related recycling obligation for one year.
However, this does not permanently remove the obligation. The tyre must eventually be recycled through a registered recycler as required under the rules.
Purchase and Adjustment of EPR Certificates
Producers must purchase eligible recycling certificates through the CPCB system.
The purchases are made against their EPR obligations, and the portal adjusts the certificates accordingly. Older pending obligations are given priority.
The manufacturer must frequently monitor the status of certificates and targets to avoid any shortage while nearing the deadline.
EPR certificate purchase for tyre producers is part of ongoing compliance and is separate from the CPCB producer registration fee.
Documents Required for EPR Tyre Registration for Producers
Prior to submitting an application for CPCB EPR tyre registration, the manufacturer must prepare all their documents and records.
| Document or information | Why it is needed | P1 manufacturer note |
| Company PAN | Business identification | Required in the CPCB producer checklist |
| GST certificate/details | Company registration details | Required in the CPCB producer checklist |
| CIN / incorporation details | Company identity | Provide as applicable; check the current portal field |
| Authorised person's Aadhaar and contact details | Identity and communication | As specified by CPCB |
| Signed covering letter | Formal request for registration | Use the current CPCB format |
| Signed undertaking or self-declaration | Confirmation of the information supplied | Use the current CPCB format |
| Tyre composition details | Information on manufactured tyres | Use the portal template |
| Year-wise tyre manufacturing and domestic sales data | EPR target calculation | Report in metric tonnes (MT) |
| Plant-wise manufacturing details | Records for each manufacturing unit | Use the portal template where applicable |
This table covers EPR tyre registration documents for P1 domestic manufacturing. Check the latest CPCB portal checklist before uploading files.
CPCB may ask for additional information depending on the company's application and current portal requirements.
Manufacturers should also keep supporting records for the quantities entered in the application.

CPCB EPR Tyre Registration Fees for Producers in India
Government Registration Fees
The EPR tyre registration fee for producers depends on CPCB's published fee structure and the applicable tyre quantity.
CPCB's July 2023 SOP provides the following fee details:
| CPCB fee category | Published fee for producers |
| First-time EPR registration | ₹25,000 + ₹0.625 per MT of the applicable tyre quantity manufactured in the preceding two years (where applicable) |
| Renewal, if required | ₹12,500 + ₹0.625 per MT of the applicable preceding two-year quantity |
| Amendment / addendum | ₹7,500 |
The fees above come from CPCB's July 2023 SOP. Confirm the amount and whether renewal applies on the current portal before payment.
These are the figures published in CPCB's SOP. The amount payable should be checked on the portal before applying.
EPR Registration Renewal and Amendment Fees
If a producer's registration requires renewal, the company should follow the latest CPCB instructions.
Changes in company details, manufacturing information or authorised representatives may also require an amendment.
Factors Affecting the Total EPR Compliance Cost
The overall EPR compliance cost may include more than the government registration fee.
The EPR tyre registration cost is different from the cost of buying recycling certificates. Manufacturers comparing EPR tyre registration fees should also consider any separate consultancy and return-filing charges.
It can depend on:
- Applicable CPCB registration charges.
- The quantity of EPR certificates required.
- EPR certificate purchase costs.
- Return filing and compliance requirements.
- Professional consultancy charges.
Corpseed can help manufacturers review their requirements and understand the likely costs before filing.
Processing Time for EPR Tyre Registration
The time needed for CPCB EPR tyre registration depends on the application and the documents submitted.
CPCB's producer instructions refer to 15 days after receiving a complete application, while its July 2023 SOP mentions 30 working days.
Because these timelines differ, applicants should not treat either as a guaranteed approval period.
Missing documents, incorrect manufacturing data or unanswered CPCB queries can increase the time taken.
Submitting complete and accurate information can help avoid unnecessary delays.
Validity, Renewal and Amendment of EPR Tyre Registration
EPR Tyre Registration Validity
CPCB's producer registration instructions mention a validity of two years. However, its July 2023 SOP also describes producer registration as one-time.
As the published instructions differ, manufacturers should check the validity mentioned on their registration certificate and follow the current portal requirements.
Renewal Requirements for Tyre Producers
Where renewal is required, producers should apply according to the current CPCB procedure and pay the applicable fee.
Amendment of Producer Registration Details
A manufacturer may need to update its registration when there are changes in company ownership, authorised-person details, business information or manufacturing facilities.
Such changes should be reported through the applicable CPCB process.
Responsibilities of Tyre Producers After EPR Registration
Getting registered is only the first part of EPR compliance.
After registration, a tyre manufacturer must continue meeting the requirements under Schedule IX.
The main responsibilities include:
- Keeping accurate records of tyres manufactured and sold in India.
- Checking yearly EPR recycling targets.
- Purchasing eligible recycling certificates from registered recyclers.
- Keeping records of EPR certificate transactions.
- Filing quarterly and annual returns.
- Checking for pending recycling obligations.
- Updating registration details when required.
- Responding to CPCB notices or queries.
Manufacturers should review their EPR records throughout the year rather than leaving everything until the filing deadline.
EPR Annual and Quarterly Return Filing for Tyre Producers
Quarterly Return Filing Requirements
Registered tyre manufacturers must file quarterly EPR returns through the CPCB portal.
These returns include relevant information about recycling obligations and certificate transactions.
Under the general rule, quarterly returns are due by the end of the month following the quarter, unless CPCB announces an extension.
Annual Return Filing Requirements
Manufacturers must also submit annual returns covering the relevant financial year.
These returns help CPCB review the company's manufacturing data, EPR targets, certificate purchases and compliance status.
| Filing requirement | General timing or CPCB update |
| Quarterly EPR return | Generally by the end of the month after the relevant quarter, unless extended |
| Annual EPR return | Ordinarily by 30 April after the financial year, subject to official notices |
| FY 2025-26 quarterly and annual returns | CPCB extended the relevant deadline to 30 September 2026; this has already passed |
EPR tyre return filing services may help manufacturers organise supporting production, sales and certificate records before submission.
The FY 2025-26 extension has already expired. Manufacturers should check the CPCB portal for deadlines applicable to subsequent filing periods.
Penalties and Environmental Compensation for Non-Compliance
Environmental Compensation for Non-Fulfilment of EPR Targets
Tyre manufacturers that fail to meet their EPR targets may have to pay environmental compensation under the applicable CPCB guidelines.
The amount depends on the nature of the non-compliance and the relevant rules.
Consequences of Operating Without EPR Registration
The manufacturers within the scope of the waste tyres EPR framework are obliged to register. The failure to do so or supplying inaccurate information may result in legal consequences.
Action for Non-Compliance Under Applicable Environmental Laws
The November 2024 amendment updated the provisions dealing with non-compliance under Schedule IX.
Applicable action may include penalties under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
Paying environmental compensation does not automatically remove an outstanding recycling obligation. Manufacturers must still address the shortfall as required by the rules.
Common Reasons for Delay or Rejection of EPR Tyre Registration
Even small mistakes in the application can lead to CPCB queries.
| Common application issue | Possible effect | What the P1 manufacturer should check |
| PAN, GST or address mismatch | CPCB may issue a query | Use consistent company information |
| Missing plant-wise manufacturing data | Application may be incomplete | Check all relevant manufacturing facilities |
| Tyre quantity entered as units rather than MT | Incorrect quantity records | Reconcile the weight of manufactured tyres |
| Wrong reference financial year | Incorrect EPR obligation | Check the applicable Y−2 period |
| Missing signatures or declarations | Additional documentation may be requested | Use completed CPCB formats |
| Late response to a portal query | Processing may be delayed | Monitor the authorised person's portal notices |
A quick review of the EPR tyre registration process before submission can help reduce these common errors.
A careful document check before filing can reduce avoidable errors.
Benefits of EPR Tyre Registration for Producers
EPR registration allows domestic tyre manufacturers to meet the registration requirement under CPCB's waste tyre rules.
It also helps manufacturers:
- Meet Legal Requirements: Follow the applicable EPR registration and recycling rules.
- Keep Better Records: Maintain details of manufacturing, sales and certificate transactions.
- Track Recycling Targets: Check how much of the yearly EPR obligation remains.
- Manage Return Filing: Keep the required information ready for quarterly and annual returns.
