Waste management in India falls under the purview of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). In 2016 this ministry released the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, these rules replaced the Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 which had been in place for 16 years.
