India Generates 1.70 Million Tonnes E-Waste a Year

India generates an estimated 1.70 million TPA (tonnes per annum) of e-waste— comprising mobiles, laptops, and other electronic items—but recycles only about 462,896 TPA. According to the Union Environment Minister, only five states—Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, and Madhya Pradesh—have inventoried their e-waste so far. A report by Parliament shows that 10 states contribute 70 per cent and 65 cities more than 60 per cent of the total e-waste generated in the country. Among the 10 largest e-waste generators are Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab, in that order. Among the top 10 cities generating e-waste, Mumbai ranks first followed by Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, Surat, and Nagpur, says the report.
