The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, mandate four-stream segregation of solid waste at source into wet waste, dry waste, sanitary waste and special care waste and prescribe clear definition of bulk waste generators who have a mandate to fulfil Extended Bulk Waste Generator Responsibility, in order to ensure that the waste generated is collected, transported and processed in an environmentally sound manner. The rules also operationalize the online tracking and monitoring of all stages of solid waste management through Centralised Online Portal including collection, transportation, processing and disposal. The rules prescribe specific roles and responsibilities for urban and rural local bodies, State/ UT Governments and concerned Ministries at Government of India. The rules prescribe an increase in the fuel substitution rate from current 5 % to 15 % over a six year period for industrial units, including cement plants and waste-to-energy plants for use of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).

At WTO MC14, India highlighted the importance of restoring an effective dispute settlement mechanism, noting that without proper adjudication, global trade rules risk losing enforceability and disproportionately impacting smaller economies. India also emphasised that transparency should not be misused for trade retaliation, and must be supported by sustained capacity-building efforts. On the sidelines, bilateral engagements with key partners including the US, China, Korea, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, Morocco and Oman focused on strengthening trade ties and advancing shared priorities.
