Epic Energy announced that its arm Swachcha Urja Nirman LLP (SUN LLP) has signed a technology transfer agreement with the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET) for recycling of end-of-life assorted li-ion batteries (excluding lithium ferro phosphate batteries) using a hydrometallurgical process.
The 10-year license agreement allows Epic Energy to use C-MET’s technology for battery recycling.
SUN LLP said the processing facility will either be located in Maharashtra or Gujarat. It expects the facility to commence commercial operations by the third quarter of FY 26 with a one-tonne-per-day processing capacity. The capital investment for the one-tonne facility is estimated to be under $1 million, and the project is expected to reach break-even by FY 27.
C-MET, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, aims to develop pilot-scale production technologies for electronic materials and facilitate their commercialization. The organization is actively engaged in developing processes, products, and technologies for electronic materials, components, and devices, focusing on indigenous raw materials and strategic applications for India’s industrial growth.
