Beyond black mass: Why India’s battery recycling industry needs to move past semi-processing While black mass is valuable, it is an intermediate product, not a finished commodity that manufacturers can use directly. It needs further refining into salts or metals for use in manufacturing. As most recyclers produce black mass in India, it was until recently being sold to overseas refiners and India was losing strategic mineral resources while importing refined products at higher value.

It is a question of industrial capability. The next phase of industrial leadership will belong not to those who consume the most resources, but to those who recover and retain them most effectively.
