Telangana sees growth in e-waste processing, ranks second in country

1 2 Hyderabad: For the first time, Telangana's electronic waste has crossed the 1 lakh metric tonne (MT) mark, positioning the state as the third-largest contributor in the country, after Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Interestingly, Telangana ranked second in terms of e-waste processing growth, behind only Uttar Pradesh. According to the data shared in Lok Sabha by the ministry of environment, forest and climate, the state witnessed an increase of 53,961 MT of e-waste processing in 2024-25, up from 65,226 MT in 2023-24 to 1,19,187 MT. Of the nation's total e-waste processing capacity of 13.97 MT, Telangana accounts for 8.5%. Since 2021-22, the state recorded a threefold increase in e-waste processing, from 42,297 MT in 2021-22 to 1.19 lakh MT during the previous fiscal year. This progress is particularly notable given that Telangana operates with just 19 recycling centres, compared to states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, which have nearly three times as many facilities. The majority of Telangana's e-waste recycling centres are in Greater Hyderabad.

"Following the implementation of Telangana's e-waste policy, the state has seen significant success in e-waste processing. The initiative attracted many investors keen on establishing recycling facilities. Recently, we granted approval for three additional recycling plants, supplementing the current network of 19 operational facilities," said a senior environment engineer in TGPCB. The environment ministry said that an online E-Waste EPR portal has been developed by CPCB, wherein entities such as producers, manufacturers, recyclers, and refurbishers of e-waste are required to register. To increase consumer participation in e-waste management, the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, mandate registered producers and recyclers to raise awareness. Consumers are regularly made aware of proper ways of e-waste disposal and are encouraged to hand over e-waste only to registered producers, refurbishers, or recyclers.

'One Nation One Election' Could Boost Economy, Cut Disruptions: Experts NK Singh & Prachi Mishra To JPC

They suggested that holding national and state elections together could significantly enhance India's economic growth, investment climate, and governance efficiency On Wednesday, a meeting of the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) led by BJP lawmaker PP Chaudhary took place in Parliament discussing the crucial One Nation One Election legislation. The subject of the day was titled 'Interaction with Shri NK Singh, former Rajya Sabha Member, Chairman of Fifteenth Finance Commission of India, former Member of the Planning Commission, former Revenue Secretary, Secretary to former Prime Minister and noted economist on the said Bills, assisted by Dr Prachi Mishra, Prof of Economics and Head & Director of Isaac Centre for Public Policy, Ashoka University". A presentation by NK Singh and Prachi Mishra made a compelling economic case for simultaneous elections. They suggested that holding national and state elections together could significantly enhance India's economic growth, investment climate, and governance efficiency. They estimated that real GDP growth is 1.5 percentage points higher around simultaneous elections compared to staggered ones, translating into an economic gain of nearly Rs 4.5 lakh crore in today's terms, equivalent to half of India's health budget or a third of the education budget. They also noted that gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), a proxy for investment activity, is 0.5 percentage points higher after simultaneous elections, reflecting increased confidence among private and foreign investors. However, frequent, staggered elections are said to cause wide-ranging disruptions to economic and social life. Industries such as manufacturing, construction, tourism, and healthcare suffer from repeated cycles of uncertainty, and migrant workers—who constitute nearly a third of India's population—are especially affected. Repeated elections force them to travel home frequently, leading to lost wages and missed voting rights. The impact also extends to education and law enforcement. Primary school enrolment dips by 0.5 percentage points around non-simultaneous elections due to teachers being deployed on election duty and schools doubling as polling stations. Crime rates tend to spike more during staggered polls as police forces remain diverted for longer periods. One of the starkest observations is that India has witnessed elections every single year since 1986, placing the nation in a state of perpetual election mode. This results in the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being enforced up to four times in five years, restricting policymaking and delaying developmental projects. Moreover, the political consequences of frequent elections include a spillover of populist promises across states and a sharp rise in fiscally unsustainable freebies. Singh warns this trend represents a 'race to the bottom" in fiscal populism. In agriculture, frequent polls create speculative uncertainty over policies like minimum support prices (MSPs), subsidies, and loan waivers, distorting farmer decision-making and hampering long-term planning. The findings are likely to fuel the ongoing debate around the feasibility and desirability of One Nation One Election, with proponents arguing that it could improve governance stability, reduce fiscal populism, and enhance policy continuity. The panel includes members like Supriya Sule (NCP), Mukul Wasnik, Randeep Surjewala, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (all from Congress), Anil Desai (Shiv Sena UBT), and Kalyan Banerjee (TMC). Representing the ruling alliance are Anurag Thakur, Sambit Patra, Bhartruhari Mahtab, Baijayant Panda, Anil Baluni (all from BJP), Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena), and Harish Balayogi (TDP), among others. The JPC was constituted during the last winter session of Parliament after the Centre agreed to subject the ONOE Bill to detailed legislative scrutiny. Initially tabled by law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, the committee's membership was later expanded to 39, accommodating demands from the opposition.
