In April 2026, Rocklink India Private Limited inaugurated India’s first integrated lithium-ion battery and rare earth magnet recycling facility at the Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh (UP).
- It focuses on recovering critical minerals to support key sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, electronics, and defence applications.
About Integrated Battery & Rare Earth Recycling Facility:
Capacity: The plant handles 10,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of lithium-ion batteries producing 5,000–6,000 tonnes of black mass, processes rare earth magnets at 60 tonnes per month (TPM), and includes a planned rare earth chloride unit of 1,500 TPA by 2026.
Materials: It recovers lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and rare earth elements such as neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium used in advanced technologies.
Technology: Using proprietary R2 recycling technology, the facility processes 95 types of battery scrap, safely manages volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and achieves over 98% recovery efficiency for aluminium, copper, and iron.
Features: The plant enables battery refurbishment, rare earth magnet recycling Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), Samarium Cobalt (SmCo), Aluminium Nickel Cobalt (AlNiCo), semi-automated dismantling, reverse logistics via Magcycle™, and compliance with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) norms through a Know Your Material approach.
