The table below captures select statutory deadlines and reporting timelines prescribed under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026. These dates apply only to instances in which the Rules explicitly stipulate time-bound obligations tied to identifiable authorities and measurable actions.
However, the Rules impose a far wider set of continuing responsibilities across Ministries, State Governments, Urban and Rural Local Bodies, regulatory authorities, and obligated entities. Many duties are ongoing and relate to enforcement, monitoring, audits, coordination, and compliance, and do not lend themselves to a fixed calendar date. Accordingly, this annexure should be read as a navigational aid to the compliance schedule, not as an exhaustive account of the institutional responsibilities embedded within the 2026 framework.
