India’s shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) and the explosion of portable electronics has created a pressing need for eco‑friendly battery recycling solutions. By 2030, India could see over 100 GWh of retired lithium‑ion batteries, not to mention the millions of tons of lead‑acid batteries from conventional vehicles. Without responsible recycling, toxic metals like lead, cobalt, and nickel risk seeping into soil and water.
This article spotlights the top 10 battery recycling companies in India, each pioneering innovative processes for both lithium‑ion battery recycling and lead‑acid battery recycling. From thermal smelting to hydrometallurgy and second‑life repurposing, these firms ensure maximum material recovery and minimal environmental impact.
