China Paused New Battery-Storage Approvals. Here's the Lesson for India

Chinese authorities have paused approvals for new battery-storage manufacturing projects, not because demand is falling, but because scale outran sustainability. India is building capacity now, at the exact moment the rest of the world is asking if it built too much.

India's Battery Opportunity Doesn't End at Recycling

NITI Aayog projects India's end-of-life lithium-ion battery availability to grow from 19 kt in 2023 to 233 kt by 2035. The right question isn't how much can we recycle, but what is the highest-value next use for this battery.

PM Modi's BRICS Warning on the Weaponisation of Critical Minerals

At the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, PM Modi warned against the weaponisation of technology and critical minerals. For battery and energy-storage industries, resource security also means the ability to recover materials, not just source them.

20 Million+ EVs Sold in 2025: The Recovery Opportunity Behind the EV Boom

Every EV sold carries a battery, and every battery is an opportunity waiting to be unlocked at the end of its first life. As adoption scales, so does the opportunity to recover valuable materials and build India's circular battery economy.

Critical Minerals Are Now Part of India's Trade Strategy. Recovery Should Be Too

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal confirmed critical minerals are being prioritised in India's trade and investment engagements. If securing critical minerals is a national priority, recovering them from end-of-life batteries should be part of the same strategy.

Battery Recycling: A Strategic Opportunity for India's Supply Chain

India's battery ecosystem is scaling fast, but true supply chain resilience means looking beyond manufacturing to what happens at end of life.

Up to 95% of Battery Materials Can Be Recovered

Battery recycling is more than waste management, it's about bringing valuable materials back into the loop. Up to 95% of battery materials can be recovered, reducing emissions and dependence on virgin mining.
