N.A.N. GreenMet, in partnership with Silox Group, has established a 50:50 joint venture to build an advanced lithium-ion battery recycling and critical minerals recovery platform in India. The joint venture, named NAN Silox GreenMet Pvt. Ltd., plans to construct an industrial-scale processing facility in Andhra Pradesh. The plant will treat end-of-life batteries through shredding, beneficiation, and hydrometallurgical refining, enabling the recovery of key metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, thereby reducing India’s reliance on imported battery-grade raw materials and establishing a domestic circular supply chain. The project will be developed in two phases, ultimately targeting a capacity of 40,000 tonnes per annum of battery shredding and 20,000 tonnes per annum of hydrometallurgical processing. Beyond recycling, the joint venture will also explore downstream value creation, including the production of cathode active materials (pCAM, CAM) and second-life applications of batteries for energy storage.
