Government Takes Steps to Promote Domestic Recycling Capacity and Circular Economy in Solar Sector

• MNRE-backed circular-economy push for India's rapidly growing solar PV fleet, anchored in the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and supplemented by PLI for High-Efficiency Solar PV Modules and the ALMM order.
• CEEW (with MNRE support) projects cumulative solar waste ≈ 600 kilo-tonnes by 2030 — a hazardous-waste, critical-mineral-recovery and energy-security issue rolled into one.
• Examinable intersection of GS-III (Environment + Energy) and GS-II (statutory regulation, EPR).
