In recent years, an increasing number of consumers have encountered frustration due to limited repair options for their electronic devices, sparking a global movement known as ‘right-to-repair’. This movement contends that individuals should have the autonomy to repair their products or choose their preferred technician.
The aim of developing a framework for RTR in India is to empower consumers and product buyers in the local market, harmonise trade between the original equipment manufacturers and third-party buyers and sellers, emphasise on developing sustainable consumption of products, and reduction in e-waste.
