Battery Recycling and Critical Minerals Recovery by BatX Energies

Battery recycling and critical minerals recovery is at the forefront with BatX Energies, which has successfully raised Rs 105 crore ($11 million) in a Series A funding round led by IvyCap Ventures. This funding round also included contributions from existing investors such as Zephyr Peacock, Mankind Pharma Family Office, Excel Industries Family Office, and JITO. Prior to this funding, BatX had secured $5 million in a pre-Series A round led by Zephyr Peacock and other investors in December 2023.

Utilisation of Fresh Funding for Expansion

The Gurugram-based startup plans to utilise the newly acquired funds to enhance its recycling and refining capacity. The goal is to fortify its research and development efforts and quicken the establishment of a domestic supply chain for battery materials.

Focus on Battery Recycling and Mineral Recovery

Founded by Utkarsh Singh and Vikrant Singh, BatX specialises in battery recycling, the recovery of critical minerals, and refining processes. The enterprise effectively extracts materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite from both end-of-life batteries and manufacturing waste.

Commercial Scale Operations

BatX asserts that it has developed a commercial-scale battery recycling and critical minerals recovery platform, currently supplying recovered battery-grade materials to the market. Furthermore, the company is advancing the development of Cathode Active Materials (CAM), which are essential for the production of lithium-ion batteries.
