🇮🇳Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022

Battery Pack Aadhaar Number Compliance

India's mandatory unique identifier for every battery pack — driving traceability, circular economy compliance, and end-of-life accountability under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022.

Mandatory Requirement: All battery producers and importers must affix BPAN on every battery pack placed in the Indian market.

What is the Battery Pack Aadhaar Number?

Just as India's Aadhaar uniquely identifies every citizen, BPAN uniquely identifies every battery pack — enabling a complete, verifiable lifecycle record.

Unique QR-Linked ID

Every battery pack receives a machine-readable, globally unique BPAN embedded in a QR code affixed to the physical battery and its packaging.

Centralised Registry

All BPANs are stored on a government-maintained portal (psa.gov.in) enabling regulators, recyclers, and consumers to look up battery data.

End-of-Life Tracking

When a battery reaches end-of-life, its BPAN enables proper channelisation to registered recyclers, closing the circular economy loop.

Mandatory BPAN Data Fields

The portal requires the following attributes for every battery pack SKU

Battery Pack Aadhaar Number
Manufacturer / Importer Name
Battery Chemistry & Type
Rated Voltage & Capacity (Wh/Ah)
Country of Origin
Date of Manufacture
Warranty / Shelf Life
Weight of Battery Pack
End-of-Life Instructions
QR Code (machine-readable)

Who Must Comply?

India's Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 applies to all entities in the battery value chain

Mandatory

Battery Producers

All manufacturers producing battery packs in India must register each model and obtain a BPAN before market placement.

Mandatory

Importers

Companies importing battery packs must acquire BPANs for each imported SKU and affix the QR code before customs clearance.

Applicable

Refurbishers

Entities refurbishing or remanufacturing battery packs must update existing BPAN records or register new packs as required.

How BPAN Works

Four steps from registration to end-of-life accountability

01

Register on BPAN Portal

Create an account on the PSA India BPAN portal. Submit company and product details for verification.

02

Apply for BPAN

Submit battery pack specifications — chemistry, capacity, voltage, weight, and other mandatory attributes.

03

Receive & Label

Download the unique BPAN and QR code. Affix the QR label on the battery pack and its packaging.

04

Track the Lifecycle

Update the registry at each stage — sale, warranty, servicing, second-life use, and final recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything battery manufacturers and importers need to know about BPAN

Is BPAN registration mandatory for all battery types?+

Yes. Under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, all battery packs — including EV, portable, industrial, and automotive — must carry a BPAN before they can be placed in the Indian market. This applies to both domestically manufactured and imported batteries.

Who registers the BPAN — the manufacturer or a service provider?+

The battery producer or importer is responsible for registering their own BPAN on the PSA India portal. Technology platforms like Emertech support the entire process by integrating with your existing systems and providing the tools to manage, track, and report on every battery pack throughout its lifecycle.

What happens if a battery pack is sold without a BPAN?+

Selling a battery pack without a BPAN is a violation of the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 and may result in regulatory action, recalls, or market access restrictions. Compliance is mandatory before placing batteries in commerce.

How does Emertech integrate with my existing systems for BPAN tracking?+

Emertech connects seamlessly with your ERP, BMS, service management platforms, and recycler systems. It builds a traceability layer on top of your existing operations — without requiring you to replace or overhaul your current setup — to capture and unify all battery lifecycle data.
