Why energy security and mineral security can no longer be discussed separately The energy transition is one of the most significant economic transformations India has undertaken in recent decades. Achieving these ambitions will require more than adding renewable energy capacity or increasing electric vehicle adoption. It will require securing the materials that make these technologies possible in the first place.

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.
