A significant step has been taken towards the non-ferrous metals industry by the Government of India by mandating the 5 per cent content of recycled aluminium in all new products from the beginning of the financial year 2027-28. The mandate is for non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper, and zinc.

The Government is initiating the regulation with the 5 per cent recycled aluminium content rule but gradually intends to increase it to 10 to 25 per cent, depending on the metal. For instance, products made of aluminium should have 10 per cent recycled content, copper 20 per cent, and zinc 25 per cent.
Thus, the new regulation will require aluminium, copper, and zinc producers to recycle a certain amount of products and introduce an extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework to ensure the environment-friend management of scrap metals.
…and so much more!
