Tyre EPR registration for manufacturers, importers and vehicle makers.
New tyre manufacturers, brand owners, importers and vehicle makers importing tyres must register with CPCB and meet a 100% EPR target every year. We register you, calculate your base-year obligation, source certificates from registered recyclers and file your returns.
What tyre EPR requires
Register
Tyre producers, importers and vehicle makers importing tyres register on CPCB’s tyre EPR portal.
Meet 100%
Match the tonnage of tyres placed on the market two years earlier with recycling or retreading certificates.
Report
File returns and keep records for CPCB’s verification.

EPR has moved to the Common EPR Portal
From the notices on CPCB’s EPR portals.
Single sign-on for every EPR portal epr.cpcb.gov.in
CPCB’s Common EPR Portal now provides single sign-on to all its EPR portals: e-waste, plastic, battery, tyre and used oil.
Plastic data migrated From 28 June 2026
The old plastic EPR portal was discontinued from 28 June 2026 and its data migrated to the Common EPR Portal. Registered units must verify their migrated data and report any mismatch.
FY 2025-26 annual returns on hold Schedule awaited
Annual return filing for FY 2025-26 is currently unavailable on the Common EPR Portal; CPCB has said a revised schedule and extended lapse period will be announced when the module launches. We track it for you.
Tickets, not emails CPCB ticket module
Unresolved portal issues must now be raised through CPCB’s ticket module, and stakeholder meetings run daily on weekdays.

Every yearEPR compliance for businesses across India
EPR registration and returns are filed centrally with CPCB, so we work with producers, importers and brand owners in every state, and with recyclers and PROs across India, including:
Common EPR mistakes
Selling Before Registration
Unregistered producers can face environmental compensation and can’t legally place products on the market.
Wrong Base Data
Targets are calculated from sales or import data. Errors carry into every year’s obligation.
Buying Certificates Late
Certificate prices and availability tighten near deadlines. Plan through the year.
Missing Returns
Late or missing returns can bring compensation and suspension of portal access.
Wrong Base Year
Obligation is based on the quantity two years earlier, not this year’s sales.
