Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh
Lohum Company launched India’s first lithium-grade refinery in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The refinery will produce 1,000 metric tonnes of battery-grade lithium annually, with plans to expand to 20,000 tonnes by 2029. Black mass from e-waste will be recycled to extract lithium. The company refines 90% of India’s lithium and is expanding its Cathode Active Material (CAM) production. The refinery’s technical efficiency competes with China and is more economical than US/European facilities. This expansion reduces India’s dependence on China for lithium supply, especially with growing EV demand.
