Exclusive: LG, Samsung sue Indian government over electronic-waste pricing policy

Lawsuits Against Indian Government: LG and Samsung, along with other companies, have filed lawsuits against the Indian government to challenge new policies that increase payments to electronic-waste recyclers, arguing that these regulations will significantly raise their costs and do not effectively promote environmental protection.

E-Waste Recycling Context: India generates substantial e-waste but has low recycling rates; the government's new rules aim to formalize the recycling sector by setting a minimum payment for recyclers, which companies claim will disproportionately impact their finances.
