An important milestone in India’s renewable energy infrastructure has been reached with the opening of Mobec Innovation’s first lithium battery recycling facility in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. With a 6,000-ton processing capacity per year, the facility seeks to promote national sustainability objectives while lowering the nation’s dependency on imported vital minerals.
Beyond its primary business of providing energy storage systems and B2B mobile EV charging solutions, the plant signifies Mobec’s strategic development. Lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, copper, manganese, and other important elements from end-of-life batteries are recovered at the new facility using sophisticated hydrometallurgical and mechanical extraction techniques, according to company officials.
Black mass collection, purification, and the ultimate extraction of valuable metals are the next steps in the recycling operation’s multi-stage processing system, which starts with battery disassembly and component separation. The production of electric vehicles, renewable energy, consumer electronics, aerospace, and the healthcare sector are just a few of the businesses that will benefit from these recovered materials.
By localising the supply chain for essential battery components, the facility supports India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) aim, according to industry observers. The plant is backed by the company’s internal research and development resources and has obtained the required environmental certifications from the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board.
The company’s business plan supports a number of national goals, such as the nation’s Net Zero emissions ambitions and the Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) effort. Mobec helps to lessen reliance on imports for resources needed in electric mobility and renewable energy applications by building domestic processing capabilities for essential battery materials.
