The EV transition depends on lithium-ion batteries, but their end-of-life cannot become an environmental liability. We refused to accept a future where millions of batteries are discarded, valuable materials are lost, and energy goes to waste. Founded in 2021, LICO Materials focuses on closing the loop on battery materials by recovering, reprocessing, and reintegrating critical materials into the battery value chain, supporting a sustainable energy ecosystem. Today, we operate at the crossroads of battery recycling and repurposing from our advanced facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka. We process end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, recover the essential materials that the world's battery supply chain relies on, and give healthy cells a second life through LiGRID, our sustainable battery energy storage system.
LICO Founded for end-of-life battery recycling
Battery Repurposing commenced for 2nd life in non-critical applications
Capacity Expansion with 17,500 MT / 4GWh feedstock in Bengaluru
LiGRID Launched, a sustainable BESS made from repurposed EV cells
First in India to recycle production scrap like jelly rolls, anode, cathode & electrodes
As we continue to grow and expand, our focus remains on repurposing and recovering critical minerals giving them a second life and supplying them to battery manufacturers. Our journey is guided by a vision of a circular, cleaner, and greener future where waste is transformed into value.
