MiniMines Gets Rs 43 Million Grant for Battery Recycling

MiniMines Cleantech Solutions, a battery recycling start-up, announced on Tuesday that it has received grants totalling Rs 43 million from Oil India Ltd, ACT, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) to support its refining and recycling of critical minerals in India.
The funding will be used for process engineering, plant commissioning, and commercial validation of recycled battery-grade materials, the company said in a statement.
With this backing, MiniMines will move to continuous processing and commission a full-scale plant, aimed at reducing lead times in recovering critical battery materials. The initiative supports end-to-end circularity in the supply chain, lowering lifecycle emissions compared to conventional mining and processing.
The company, which specialises in extracting and refining metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, said the grant marks a significant step in advancing India’s National Critical Minerals Mission.
“This milestone positions MiniMines at the forefront of India’s efforts to secure critical minerals,” said Anupam Kumar, Co-founder and CEO. He added that the company's proprietary technology enables the production of high-purity materials with significantly reduced carbon emissions.
MiniMines’ recycling model also aims to reduce India’s dependence on imported raw materials, feeding domestic manufacturing with nickel for green hydrogen, copper for electronics, and sulphates for fertilisers. The company said this creates a resilient and circular supply chain for India's green industrial future.
