Release Time for Consumer Price Index & Index of Industrial Production Revised

MoSPI has decided that CPI and IIP data will be released at 4:00 PM on the 12th of each month. If the 12th falls on a holiday, the release will be on the next working day for CPI and the previous working day for IIP. The new release time aligns with the closing hours of major financial markets in India. This ensures that the dissemination of CPI data does not disrupt active trading activity.

New Guidelines for E-Waste Processing Capacity Determination For Recyclers

The processing capacity of an e-waste recycling facility will be determined based on the capacity of the maximum hourly capacity of installed machinery and equipment, considering a maximum of 20 hours of operation per day. SPCBs/PCCs will grant CTOs specifying the annual processing capacity in terms of the weight of e-waste that the facility can handle. Standalone dismantling facilities can be allowed, but the recycler must take responsibility for the flow of materials and report it in their annual return.
