India’s First Battery-Grade Lithium Refinery: A Game-Changer for the Global Critical Minerals Market

India has taken a monumental leap in the lithium refining sector with the launch of its first battery-grade lithium refinery, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s push for self-reliance in critical minerals. This state-of-the-art 1000 MT/annum lithium refining facility not only strengthens India’s position in the global critical minerals supply chain but also ensures the country’s strategic independence in lithium battery technology.

Why is this a groundbreaking achievement?

🔹 Largest Lithium Refining Hub Outside China: This facility is responsible for refining 90% of all lithium refined in India, positioning the country as a significant player in the global lithium market.

🔹 Unparalleled Purity Standards: The refinery achieves an impressive 99.8% lithium purity, with scalability to 99.99%, making it one of the most advanced refining units in the world.

🔹 Cost-Competitive with Global Leaders: Operating at one-third the CapEx of US/EU refiners, this facility matches China’s cost efficiency, setting a new benchmark for lithium refining globally.

A Step Toward a Sustainable Lithium Supply Chain

With India's lithium carbonate demand projected to reach 300,000 tons by 2030, this refinery is a crucial step toward securing the nation’s energy future. Aligned with the Government of India’s ₹34,000 Cr National Critical Minerals Mission, Lohum is pioneering sustainable sourcing, responsible refining, and cutting-e      dge innovation to build a Viksit Bharat that leads the world in battery technology and critical minerals.

This is more than just a refinery—it’s a revolution in India’s energy landscape, paving the way for a secure, cost-efficient, and sustainable lithium supply chain that will power the global transition to clean energy. 🚀🔋💡

The Future of Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling: A Sustainable Path Forward with LOHUM

The global transition toward electrified mobility and renewable energy storage has amplified the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). From electric vehicles (EVs) to grid-scale energy storage solutions, LIBs power our modern world. However, the rapidly increasing deployment of these batteries raises a crucial question: What happens when they reach the end of their first life? At LOHUM, we are leading the way in developing sustainable solutions for lithium-ion battery recycling and Refurbished Li-ion Battery Application , ensuring that valuable resources are not lost but repurposed for a circular energy economy. By leveraging advanced battery recycling and material recovery processes, we are helping reduce dependence on virgin mining while enhancing energy security. The Growing Challenge of Lithium-Ion Battery Waste The demand for lithium-ion batteries is projected to increase 10-fold over the next decade as EV adoption and energy storage needs rise. Analysts predict that by ...

Powering a Greener Future: How LOHUM is Leading the Charge in Lithium-ion Battery Recycling and Sustainable Mobility

The global shift toward electric mobility and renewable energy is accelerating—and at the heart of this transition is the humble lithium-ion battery. These batteries are powering everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and grid storage systems. But while demand for Li-ion batteries is growing exponentially, challenges such as raw material scarcity, supply chain dependency, and environmental degradation are mounting just as rapidly. At LOHUM , we believe that the solution lies not just in innovation—but in circularity. The Rising Demand and the Recycling Imperative Over the next decade, the battery market is projected to grow tenfold , driven primarily by the explosive adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the global energy storage revolution. But existing mining operations are already struggling to keep pace. In fact, all of the world’s current mining capacity is insufficient to meet projected lithium demand . Adding to this pressure, establishing new...

The Future Is Circular: How LOHUM Is Redefining Battery Sustainability in the Age of Electrification

In the accelerating shift towards electric mobility and renewable energy, lithium-ion batteries stand as the cornerstone of progress. From two-wheelers and passenger EVs to solar backup systems and data center energy storage, lithium-ion batteries are powering the present—and shaping the future. But with this transformation comes a crucial challenge: how do we ensure the sustainability of this exponential battery boom ? The Inevitable Surge in Retired Batteries As EV adoption scales across the globe, we are approaching a tipping point in lithium battery retirements. According to industry projections, by 2030, the world could see over 2 million metric tonnes of used lithium-ion batteries annually —that’s the equivalent of batteries from more than half a million EVs retiring every year . While today’s recycling infrastructure is still ramping up, the future holds an unprecedented opportunity to transform these retired batteries into a sustainable, circular economy of critical mi...
