Mobec Innovation has launched its first lithium battery recycling plant in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, marking a key step in advancing India’s clean energy infrastructure. The facility, which can process up to 6,000 tons annually, aims to decrease India’s dependence on imported critical minerals while contributing to the country’s sustainability goals.
The plant expands Mobec’s operations beyond its primary focus on B2B mobile EV charging solutions and energy storage systems. The facility uses advanced hydrometallurgical and mechanical extraction techniques to recover valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, copper, and manganese from end-of-life batteries.
Harry Bajaj, CEO of Mobec Innovation, explained, “By reducing reliance on imported lithium and other critical minerals while recovering valuable resources, we are reinforcing our commitment to green mobility, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.”
The recycling process at the plant involves several stages, starting with battery dismantling and component separation, followed by black mass collection, purification, and the extraction of valuable metals. These materials will be used in industries like electric vehicle production, renewable energy, consumer electronics, aerospace, and healthcare.
Industry experts point out that this facility aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) initiative, as it localizes the supply chain for essential battery materials. The plant has received all necessary environmental certifications from the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board and benefits from the company’s in-house R&D resources.
Mobec Innovation, founded as a technology company in India, provides mobile EV charging solutions and energy storage systems for businesses. The company continues to strengthen its position within the country’s growing clean tech sector through its diverse, customizable offerings.
With the new recycling facility in Noida, Mobec has further diversified its business, supporting India’s self-reliance in critical resources for electric mobility and renewable energy. The plant’s materials will serve multiple sectors, helping to reduce import reliance and align with national goals such as Net Zero emissions.
