Rahul Raj, co-founder of Inverted Energy said that “During the lockdown, we realised the drawback of depending on the foreign markets and have worked towards building capabilities, strengthening the team, and working harder resulting in this achievement.”

Inverted Energy launched a new range of Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and home energy storages, among others. “With this capacity addition, the company has extended its journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and to create a flexible, cost-effective and optimised market space aiming to reduce dependency (for batteries) on China,” he said.

In the coming months, it is expected to increase its multifold in its capacity. The Indian government in various states are coming up with various initiatives to promote and adopt electric vehicles across the country.

Recently the Telangana has launched its EV policy exempting road tax for first two lakh electric vehicles, Raj said. He added, “We want to drive the change towards lithium-ion batteries that are more reliable, cost-effective, durable and made-in-India.”

lithium-ion recycling plant in India set up by Tata Chemicals

The Tata Chemicals have taken the initiative to recycle the lithium-ion batteries. It has set up the lithium-ion recycling plant in India and started its commercial operations. Recycling process will recover the active cathode materials from the spent lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells or batteries.

The Tata Chemicals works in the fields of chemicals, crop nutrition, and consumer products will also recycle the li-ion batteries. The Tata chemicals unit is located near Mumbai, India.

In Li-ion battery recycling process the metals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese are recovered and are 99% pure in nature. This process helps to collect the materials from the used ones and to reuse it which leads to the need for fewer energy and natural resources. The recovered materials are delivered to the battery manufactures to be reused for the production of new batteries.
