How does battery recycling support India’s net-zero and renewable energy targets?

At Nav Prakriti, we believe battery recycling plays a vital role in helping India achieve its net-zero and renewable energy goals.

As India ramps up the use of electric vehicles, solar power, and energy storage systems, the demand for batteries is rising fast. These batteries rely on critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel—most of which are imported. By recycling used batteries, we can recover these materials domestically, reducing our dependence on mining and imports, and making the energy transition more self-reliant.

Battery recycling also helps cut down on carbon emissions. Mining and processing raw materials require a lot of energy and release greenhouse gases. In contrast, recycling consumes far less energy, making it a cleaner, lower-carbon alternative. This supports India’s broader mission to reach net-zero emissions by 2070.

Recycled materials can go right back into making new batteries for solar grids, EVs, and backup systems, creating a closed-loop system that aligns perfectly with a circular, sustainable economy. It reduces waste, lowers costs, and ensures that renewable energy systems stay clean—not just in use, but across their entire lifecycle.

At Nav Prakriti, we see battery recycling as more than just waste management—it’s a key enabler of India’s clean energy future.
