Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC) Battery Reuse and Recycling Market Assessment for India

Backed by NITI Aayog, the study evaluates India’s battery reuse and recycling ecosystem, focusing on segment-wise end-of-life volumes, market sizing, and global-to-local recycling technologies to inform regulations and institutional frameworks that advance resource conservation, cost savings, and a circular economy.

OBJECTIVE

Supported by NITI Aayog, this study assesses India’s battery reuse and recycling potential by estimating end-of-life battery volumes, evaluating recycling technologies, and identifying regulatory and institutional gaps to enable second-life use and promote a circular economy.

Our Core Values

Technology assessment.

Assessed the technologies for battery recycling - both those being commercialized in India currently, and others in use globally that could potentially be deployed in India.

Market sizing

Estimated the size of the market by assessing the number/type of batteries expected to reach end of life over the coming years.

In-Depth Analysis & Comparative Benefit

Model EV adoption using the pManifold IETEM© tool for 2030-2050, forecast energy demand and EV grid load impacts, assess distribution network upgrades, propose demand-side management (DSM) strategies, and evaluate renewable energy (RE) integration for 100% RE grid stability

Regulatory gap analysis

Assessed how manufacturing regulations and standards should change to support better and cheaper reuse or recycling of batteries at end of life.

Stakeholder engagement

Outreached to global companies with relevant technologies to understand their interest in applying relevant new technologies in India (and, if relevant, how any barriers to this might be overcome) and to inform them of the Indian potential market size and evolving regulatory framework to support a viable reuse and recycling industry.
