New Delhi [India], February 2: Surya Roshni Limited, one of India's leading manufacturers across lighting, fans, home appliances, steel pipes, and PVC pipes, strengthened its commitment to environmental sustainability by conducting an EPR-led e-waste awareness drive across residential societies in Delhi-NCR. The initiative is aligned with the Government of India's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework and focuses on promoting responsible e-waste disposal and environmentally conscious community practices. As part of the first phase, the company rolled out awareness programmes across many residential societies in key locations including Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. Through on-ground engagement, Surya Roshni educated residents on the importance of proper segregation, safe collection, and scientific recycling of e-waste, including lighting products, electrical fittings, and consumer appliances, to minimise environmental harm and support sustainable waste management. Speaking on the initiative, Padma Shri Jai Prakash Agarwal, Chairman, Surya Roshni Limited, said, "Environmental responsibility has always been central to Surya Roshni's business philosophy. Through this EPR-driven e-waste awareness initiative, we aim to sensitise consumers about responsible end-of-life management of electrical and electronic products. Our focus is on encouraging long-term behavioural change that contributes to a cleaner environment, efficient resource utilisation, and a stronger circular economy." In addition to e-waste management, Surya Roshni continues to advance its broader sustainability and social responsibility agenda across its manufacturing locations. The company is organising a dedicated women's health camp in Kashipur to promote preventive healthcare and improve community well-being. It is also undertaking plantation drives at its Malanpur and Kashipur units, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing green cover, supporting biodiversity, and reducing its environmental footprint. Following the completion of the first phase in Delhi-NCR, the e-waste awareness programme is planned to be expanded to other adjoining NCR regions. This phased approach reflects Surya Roshni's long-term vision of embedding sustainability at the grassroots level while strengthening responsible waste management ecosystems across urban communities.
