New subsidiary to close the battery lifecycle loop
Maxvolt Energy has launched a dedicated subsidiary named Maxvolt ReEarth focused on establishing a fully integrated lithium battery recycling ecosystem across India. The move responds to the growing volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries generated by expanding electric vehicle adoption, renewable energy storage deployments, and telecom infrastructure growth. Maxvolt ReEarth’s operations will span second-life applications, dismantling and shredding of spent batteries, and the production of black mass a precursor for extracting valuable battery minerals.
The subsidiary is designed to process multiple battery chemistries including LiFePO4 (LFP), NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide), NCA (Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide), and LCO (Lithium Cobalt Oxide). Its broad scope underlines an ambition to serve diverse battery types across EVs, energy storage systems and other applications. By recovering key materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese, Maxvolt ReEarth aims to reduce landfill waste while contributing to a more circular and resilient domestic battery supply chain.
Expert leadership drives technology and partnerships
Maxvolt ReEarth’s leadership team brings together deep technical and strategic expertise: Vishal Gupta serves as Director of Technology, Payal Jain leads as Chief Technology Officer for R&D and process development, and Shashank Shukla is Chief Executive Officer responsible for business strategy and ecosystem partnerships. All three executives hold engineering degrees from premier Indian institutions, positioning the unit for both innovation and operational execution.
To accelerate growth and commercialisation, ReEarth plans to collaborate with electric vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, battery producers, telecommunications firms, energy storage providers, government bodies and research institutions. These partnerships aim to support material traceability, regulated disposal channels, and demand for recycled materials in manufacturing and energy sectors.
Maxvolt ReEarth’s efforts align with India’s broader circular economy goals by transforming battery waste into a resource, promoting sustainable practices and reducing reliance on imported raw materials a strategic advantage as the nation accelerates its clean energy and electrification targets.
