Facility Overview
Rocklink India has officially commissioned its first integrated recycling facility in the UPSIDC industrial area of Uttar Pradesh. The plant is designed to bolster India’s circular economy by focusing on high-value material recovery from lithium-ion batteries and rare earth magnets.
Technical Capacities
- Lithium-ion Battery Recycling: 10,000 tonnes per year initial capacity, capable of processing 95 distinct types of pre- and post-consumer battery scrap.
- Rare Earth Magnets: 60 tonnes per month dismantling and processing capacity for alloys including NdFeB, SmCo, and AlNiCo.
- Expansion Roadmap: A rare earth chloride processing line with a 1,500-tonne annual capacity is slated for completion in early 2026.
Proprietary Technology
The facility utilizes Rocklink’s proprietary ‘R2’ technology, which enables the transformation of battery scrap into high-purity components while mitigating environmental risks by removing volatile organic compounds. The plant employs semi-automated processing lines to ensure batch traceability and optimized material recovery.
Strategic Objectives
Rocklink is positioning itself as a critical player in the domestic supply chain for raw materials. The company is actively partnering with research institutions and government stakeholders to standardize dismantling protocols and increase recovery efficiencies, aligning with India’s evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations.
