India bans black mass exports to aid recycling
The Indian government has imposed a ban on the export of black mass, a waste product from lithium-ion batteries, according to NavBharat Times. This decision aims to enhance domestic recycling of valuable minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. The move is expected to provide raw materials for battery manufacturers in India, reducing reliance on imports. The ban aligns with India's broader strategy to strengthen its domestic supply chain and support the growing electric vehicle industry.
Impact Battery manufacturers in India gain access to more domestic raw materials, reducing import needs.
