NLC India Limited Launches Nationwide E-Waste Campaign
NLC India Limited (NLCIL) is making significant strides in environmental sustainability through its participation in Special Campaign 6, a nationwide initiative led by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). With a focus on the effective collection, segregation, and eco-friendly disposal of electronic waste, the campaign underscores NLCIL’s commitment to sustainable resource management and operational excellence.
After an intensive preparation phase that lasted from September 15 to September 30, 2026, NLCIL has now entered the implementation phase, which runs until October 31, 2026. The company’s efforts align with the E-Waste Management Rules 2022, aiming to ensure responsible management of electronic waste across their operations.
Outstanding Achievements During Special Campaign 5.0
In conjunction with Special Campaign 6, NLCIL has successfully surpassed key operational and cleanliness targets during the earlier phase of the campaign. By October 23, 2026, the company had identified 180 cleanliness drive sites, exceeding its initial goal of 145. Furthermore, it cleared a remarkable 2,496,193 square feet of space, surpassing its target of 2,415,786 square feet.
Efficient Scrap Disposal and Financial Gains
In its commitment to reducing waste, NLCIL disposed of 1,272 metric tonnes of scrap, exceeding a goal of 1,266.22 metric tonnes and generating ₹3,11,89,078 in revenue. These initiatives illustrate the company’s dedication to both environmental and economic sustainability.
Record Management and Citizen Services
NLCIL has focused on enhancing record management as part of the Special Campaign.
