Rare earth minerals drive: BatX and Rocklink to build India's first magnet recycling hub, EU-India tech push backs venture
Battery recycling firm BatX Energies on Friday announced a strategic partnership with Germany's Rocklink GmbH to establish India's first fully integrated rare earth magnet recycling and refining ecosystem, marking a key development under the EU-India Trade and Technology Council initiative. The companies said in a joint statement that the partnership will focus on building a sustainable critical mineral value chain between Europe and India, starting with the commissioning of a rare earth refining facility compliant with zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) norms and global export standards, PTI reported. The alliance will co-develop and commercialise advanced solvent extraction (SX) technologies for separating and purifying high-value rare earth elements. They also plan to jointly file patents for these technologies in India and Europe, creating a shared intellectual property base. 'This partnership marks a defining moment in India's journey toward rare earth self-reliance,' said Utkarsh Singh, CEO of BatX Energies. Leonard Ansorge, Director at Rocklink GmbH, added: 'Our alliance with BatX brings together our materials and refining expertise with BatX's innovative and practical approaches on refining to deliver tangible results in short development cycles.' The project is expected to boost India's domestic rare earth supply capabilities while supporting Europe's access to circular and sustainable sources of critical raw materials.

BatX Energies, Germany's Rocklink tie up to build rare earth magnet recycling ecosystem
BatX Energies has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with German firm Rocklink GmbH to establish India's first integrated ecosystem for rare earth magnet recycling and refining. The initiative aims to combine BatX's operational presence with Rocklink 's technical expertise in critical materials recovery. The partnership is part of broader collaboration under the EU–India Trade and Technology Council (TTC), which promotes cooperation in sustainable technology , critical minerals and industrial resilience. Both companies have already initiated India's first lithium-ion battery and permanent magnet recycling cluster in Sikandrabad, Uttar Pradesh. End-of-Life Magnet Recovery and Domestic Refining The joint effort will introduce Rocklink's proprietary Magcycle reverse logistics system to India, enabling the traceable collection of end-of-life permanent magnets—including NdFeB, SmCo, and AlNiCo—from motors, electronics, and industrial waste streams. The project will culminate in the commissioning of India's first rare earth magnet refining facility, built to zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) and export-compliance standards. Both companies plan to jointly file patents for the developed technologies in India and the European Union. 'This partnership marks a defining moment in India's journey toward rare earth self-reliance. We're proud to lead this initiative alongside Rocklink and to carry forward the vision outlined in the EU TTC for building circular and transparent critical mineral value chains between India and Europe," said Utkarsh Singh, CEO, BatX Energies. The pilot facility is scheduled to begin operations within 12 months, with a commercial-scale plant expected within the next 24 months. 'Rocklink is committed to establishing vertically integrated long-loop recycling solutions to support government efforts to establish a functional rare earth magnet supply chain in India. Our alliance with BatX brings together our materials and refining expertise with BatX's innovative and practical approaches to deliver tangible results in short development cycles," said Leonard Ansorge, Director, Rocklink GmbH.

VinFast partners with BatX Energies for electric vehicle battery recycling
Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast on Friday said it had signed a strategic agreement with India's BatX Energies to recycle, recover and repurpose high-voltage EV batteries. The deal marks a major step towards building a localised and sustainable battery value chain for VinFast's India operations, including its upcoming Thoothukudi factory and after-sales services. Under the agreement, BatX Energies will handle the recovery of critical materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel from end-of-life batteries, ensuring they are reintegrated into the battery production cycle. The move is aimed at reducing the environmental impact of battery production and lowering dependence on raw material mining. The two companies said the partnership aligns with India's evolving EV ecosystem and strengthens both nations' focus on circular economy solutions. The collaboration also opens doors to explore second-life battery applications, urban mining, and traceability of raw materials. 'This partnership with BatX Energies is a meaningful step toward building a sustainable, circular battery ecosystem in working with BatX, we aim to reduce resource dependency, support national priorities, and set a new benchmark for responsible innovation in electric mobility,' said Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia. Utkarsh Singh, CEO of BatX Energies, said: 'By enabling sustainable end-of-life solutions for EV batteries, we are building infrastructure that can grow with the industry and create lasting environmental impact.' The announcement comes as VinFast accelerates its India plans. It is preparing to launch two electric SUVs—VF 6 and VF 7—while rapidly scaling up operations at its Tamil Nadu plant. It has also inked partnerships with Global Assure for roadside assistance, and myTVS and RoadGrid for service and charging infrastructure.
