Description Electronic waste or E-waste is relatively a novel addition to the ever-growing hazardous waste stream. It includes discarded electronic and electrical equipment. Developing countries are facing enormous challenges related to the generation and management of E-waste which are either internally generated or imported illegally; India is no exception to it. However, the existing management practices related to E-waste in India are reasonably poor and have the potential to risk both human health and the environment. Moreover, the policy level initiatives are not being implemented in an appropriate way. Rapid growth of technology, up gradation of technical innovations and high Obsolescence rate have led to one of the fastest growing waste streams consisting of old electrical and electronic equipment products. Therefore this paper highlight the rising e-waste issues in India and the challenges faced toward implementation of sound policy initiatives toward e waste management.
