How EPR works in Surat
National registration, local enforcement
EPR applies by what you make, import or sell — not by where your office is. So a business in Surat registers on the same central CPCB portals as one anywhere in India. What’s local is enforcement: Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) handles consents, inspections and Environmental Compensation on the ground.
Textiles, packaging and diamond-processing centre with dense plastic-packaging activity.

Who regulates you here
The three bodies you deal with in Surat
EPR registration is national, but consents, inspections and waste duties are handled where you operate. Here is who does what in Surat, Gujarat.
EPR registration, targets and returns are national and run on CPCB’s stream portals. Your obligation follows what you make, import, brand or process — not where your office is.
EPR rules, portals & deadlines →Registration of bulk waste generators, the user fee, collection and segregation duties, and the bye-laws that set them — all under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026.
What the 2026 rules ask →What applies, and where it comes from
- EPR, by activity
- Eight notified waste streams. If you produce, import, brand-own or process in a stream, you register with CPCB regardless of state.
- Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026
- In force since 1 April 2026, superseding the 2016 rules. Four-way segregation at source, and registration plus wet-waste duties for bulk waste generators.
- C&D Waste Rules, 2025
- Construction and demolition waste is stored separately on your own premises and handled under its own rules, not the solid waste rules.
- State consents and authorisations
- Issued by GPCB for Surat — a separate track from EPR registration, and the one that inspections come through.
