The correct answer is Maharashtra.
– This question pertains to the number of registered E-Waste recyclers and dismantlers, which falls under the E-Waste Management Rules. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is the regulatory body in India.
– Based on CPCB data available around the time frame from which this question likely originates (e.g., data from 2016-2019), Maharashtra has consistently had the highest number of registered E-Waste dismantling and recycling units among all Indian states.
– States like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh also have a significant number of registered units, but Maharashtra has typically led in this count.
The number of registered facilities can change over time as new licenses are granted and others expire or are revoked. However, historical data places Maharashtra at the top for having the maximum number of registered E-Waste recyclers/dismantlers. This is often attributed to the state’s large population, high e-waste generation, and relatively developed industrial infrastructure for processing waste.
