Attero Recycling plans to invest Rs 300 crore in the next nine months to improve its lithium-ion battery recycling capacity. According to an ANI report, the e-waste recycling company aims to increase its recycling capacity from the current 1,000 metric tons per year to 11,000 metric tons by October 2022. Currently, India generates more than 50,000 tons of lithium-ion waste every year. With this enhanced capacity, the company aims to capture 22% of the total addressable market size by 2022.

CEO and co-founder Nitin Gupta said the company is increasing its e-waste capacity through a franchise route. As part of its future roadmap, the company will set up factories to recycle e-waste at 14 other locations by the end of this year. He also said the company will increase its annual e-waste recycling capacity by 1,56,000 metric tonnes to 300,000 tonnes by the end of 2022 through 14 franchisees across India.

India currently generates over 50,000 tonnes of lithium-ion waste annually.

Attero Recycling caters to manufacturing giants in the electronics and automotive sectors in India and globally. It plans to enter the global market in early 2022. In addition, the company may strike a deal with electric car maker Tesla for the supply of recycled products.

Currently, the company has a 90% market share in automotive and electronics OEMs. To strengthen the EV ecosystem, Attero has also partnered with MG Motors to recycle the lithium-ion batteries installed in the brand’s ZS EV units.
