Energy plays a crucial role for the development of a country. Production of electricity takes place using both conventional and non-conventional methods. Sunlight is converted into solar energy through a solar panel, also called a photovoltaic module or PV module. "The National Solar Mission" is one of the primary missions of India's National Action Plan on Climate Change, which places solar energy at the centre. "The National Solar Mission" was launched on January 11, 2010.There is a 26.53% share of renewable energy in total installed generation capacity in India, while solar energy's contribution is 3.6% of total energy generation in year 2019-20. The solar energy installation capacity of India was 40085 MW in 2021 and will increase to 100 GW in 2022. By 2030, India's PV waste generation is predicted to reach 200,000 tonnes, and by 2050, 1.8 million tonnes. Solar PV waste collected from their facility at the EOL should disposed of in line with the central government's "E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules," as updated frequently. Unexpectedly, the electronic-waste restrictions do not apply to PV module waste. As a result, no formal procedure for disposing of Photovoltaic waste occurs in India. The current study intends to fill technological gaps in Photovoltaic waste management, recycling and outline a framework for the future to develop effective regulations and policies in India for EOL Photovoltaic waste generated.
