About Us

India's battery waste
crisis has a solution.

As India's electric mobility and electronics sectors grow, the volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is rising sharply. Today, most of this waste is stockpiled or informally handled — causing serious environmental harm and wasting valuable critical minerals.

Utrust Cleantech, incorporated in 2024, is building Western Maharashtra's first dedicated lithium-ion battery recycler at Shrirampur MIDC — at the centre of the Nashik–Aurangabad–Pune industrial belt. We turn hazardous battery waste into clean, reusable, battery-grade materials.

How It Works

Our recycling process

A clean, end-to-end process capable of handling all lithium-ion battery chemistries.

Stage 01
Collection & Dismantling
Spent EV, electronics & industrial battery packs
01 — Intake

Collection & Processing

We collect end-of-life batteries from across sectors and safely dismantle and process them, separating recoverable materials in an environmentally sound manner.

Stage 02
Metal Recovery Line
Hydrometallurgical extraction & refining
02 — Recovery

Metal Recovery

Using a hydrometallurgical process, we recover high-purity, battery-grade metal salts and base metals — returning valuable critical minerals to the supply chain.

Stage 03
Battery Materials
Cathode & anode active materials
03 — Closing the Loop

Battery Materials

We produce cathode and anode active materials for new batteries — supported by our technology collaboration with BARC — helping close the loop on India's battery supply chain.

BARC Technology Collaboration

A technology collaboration with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre for advanced cathode and anode material manufacturing.

All-Chemistry Capability

Able to process all current and future lithium-ion battery chemistries — including LFP, NMC, NCA, LCO and LMO.

In-House Technical Expertise

A team with deep, hands-on expertise in chemistry, hydrometallurgy, and industrial process management.

Regulatory Alignment

Fully aligned with the Battery Waste Management Rules 2022, recognised by Startup India, and eligible under the National Critical Mineral Mission.
