National Technology Day: The role of deeptech in achieving energy sovereignty
India pauses to commemorate the moment it announced to the world that a country could engineer its own strategic security - the Pokhran II tests of 1998. Every May 11, India pauses to commemorate the moment it announced to the world that a country could engineer its own strategic security - the Pokhran II tests of 1998. Twenty seven years on, we are now faced with engineering a different kind of sovereignty where the lessons learned with the Pokhran exercise apply equally.
Commentary: This Earth Day let’s talk about reducing import dependency through circular mineral economies
The global clean energy transition has something absurd going on. Countries are spending billions to secure lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper for batteries, which are at the heart of electrification. Mining companies are pumping money into new projects every year. Governments are signing mineral agreements and launching national missions as though securing the supply of these minerals is a matter of national survival. They are right to do so; these minerals are now essential for countries.
Earth Day 2026: Why recycling lithium could matter more than mining it
The world has a lithium problem. It is not a shortage problem, but, it is a management problem. Every year, millions of lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their useful life and disappear into landfills, scrap chains which are mostly informal and unregulated dismantling yards. On the other hand, new lithium projects are coming up all the time, in Chile, Argentina, Australia that mining companies are investing billions into, to feed the growing appetite of energy storage needs.
#PreBudgetAutoTalk: Why Union Budget 2026 Should Prioritise EV Battery Recycling Growth
Currently, India’s battery sector and battery recycling sector are underdeveloped. Surging EV demand is projected to require over 150 GWh of batteries by 2030. India’s battery recycling market stands at USD 152.68 million in 2025, forecasted to grow to USD 235.57 million by 2030 at a 9.06 per cent CAGR. Due to adoption of electric vehicles, overall movement towards electrification, end of life volumes are also projected to reach around 128 GWh by 2030.
Battery recycling: A balancing act
Shubham Vishvakarma of Metastable Materials examines the benefits and challenges of integrated carbothermal reduction in battery recycling. By Shubham Vishvakarma, Metastable Materials 05 Aug 2024 34 Views Battery recycling is a key part of today's sustainability efforts, but it's not without its challenges. Current methods work well for large-scale operations but struggle to handle the complexities of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) cost-effectively.
Is India ready to recycle millions of end-of-life EV batteries?
have many advantages over traditional fossil fuel cars. They produce no tailpipe emissions, do not make use of polluting motor oils or lubricants, have efficient driving systems and quiet motors, making them eco-friendly. Pivotal to the EVs’ eco-friendliness are its batteries, which are largely Lithium ion car batteries last 7-8 years on an average, which can be stretched to a decade depending on usage.
Lithium battery recycling: Opportunities, challenges, and sustainable practices
Fueled by government initiatives and growing environmental concerns, the adoption of EVs is rapidly transforming India’s transportation landscape. However, this burgeoning sector presents a new challenge: the responsible management of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that power these vehicles. As the use of Li-ion batteries explodes, India has a unique opportunity to establish itself as a leader in the sustainable and responsible recycling of these critical components.
Rolе Of EV OEMs In Boosting India’s Battеry Rеcycling Industry
By Shubham Vishvakarma In recent years, the automotive landscape has undergone a transformative shift towards sustainability, with Electric Vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturers (EV OEMs) leading the charge in India. As of March 2023, the nation boasts over 2.3 million electric vehicles, a testament to the accelerating shift towards cleaner transportation.
