Mobec Innovation has launched its first lithium battery recycling facility in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The plant, with an annual processing capacity of 6,000 tons, aims to reduce India’s dependence on imported critical minerals while advancing the country’s sustainability goals. The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board has granted the necessary environmental certifications for the facility.
Expanding Beyond EV Charging and Energy Storage
Mobec Innovation is broadening its focus beyond B2B mobile EV charging and energy storage solutions. The facility utilizes advanced hydrometallurgical and mechanical extraction technologies to recover valuable materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, copper, and manganese, from end-of-life batteries.
Commitment to Sustainability and Green Mobility
Harry Bajaj, CEO, Mobec Innovation stated, “By reducing our dependence on imported lithium and other critical minerals and reclaiming valuable resources, we are reinforcing our commitment to green mobility, sustainability, and environmental responsibility”.
Boosting India’s Self-Reliance in Battery Materials
Industry experts highlight the plant’s role in supporting India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by localizing the supply chain for critical battery components. The recycling process involves multiple stages, starting with battery dismantling and component separation. This is followed by black mass collection, purification, and metal extraction.
Supporting Key Industries with Recovered Materials
The facility will recover high-purity materials that benefit various industries. These include electric vehicles, renewable energy, consumer electronics, aerospace, and healthcare.
As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, Mobec Innovation is creating a domestic supply of essential minerals. This initiative is driving India toward a more self-sufficient and sustainable energy future.
