  • The pilot project is set to run for two months, commencing on June 1. During this period, customs rules will be relaxed to facilitate the import and export of electronics products.

  • Although the repaired goods will not be permitted to be sold in the domestic market, provisions will be made to allow their exportation to regions other than their country of origin.
  • In addition, India’s e-waste policy will be modified to enable repair companies to domestically recycle 5% of imported goods by weight on a trial basis.
  • This change will reduce logistics costs associated with sending non-repairable products back for disposal.
