India is introducing stricter rules to tackle its growing e-waste problem, requiring electronics manufacturers to pay more for recycling products like air conditioners, refrigerators, and TVs. Companies like Daikin, Hitachi, and Samsung are pushing back, arguing the costs are too high, according to court filings and lobbying efforts.
The electronics giants are urging environment officials to abandon the approach, with four companies suing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration in New Delhi over the measures they say will heighten compliance woes and unsettle businesses.
The previously unreported standoff marks the latest chapter in foreign companies’ battles with India over what some perceive as protectionist policies and shifting regulatory goal posts.
