About the Bhiwadi, Rajasthan facility
Bhiwadi lies on the Rajasthan–Haryana border, part of the Delhi–Jaipur industrial corridor, with a mix of automotive component, electronics and engineering plants in its RIICO estates. The grading station opened in 2023 to add diagnostics capacity near the NCR while giving Rajasthan's growing electric fleets and suppliers a closer alternative to sending material to Gurugram. Customers south of Delhi often reach it faster than Gurugram.
At 9,000 TPA it is one of the network's smaller grading sites, and its benches are configured for modules and small packs rather than heavy commercial formats. It takes supplier returns and sub-assemblies from the corridor's component makers, two- and three-wheeler packs from Rajasthan, and overflow work from Gurugram when that hub is running at capacity. Grade reports use the same format as every other network grading site.
What arrives at the gate
What sets this site apart
Overflow capacity for NCR
Absorbs grading work when Gurugram is busy, keeping turnaround consistent across the region.
Supplier-focused service
Structured grading of module and sub-assembly returns for component makers in the corridor.
Compact bench layout
Fixtures sized for modules and smaller packs, where the site's intake is concentrated.
What happens to material here
- 1
Intake & safety triage
Packs are logged, thermally imaged and screened for swelling, coolant ingress or venting before entering the bench area.
- 2
Controlled de-energising
Residual energy is discharged to a safe state of charge with regenerative load banks and recorded per serial number.
- 3
Module-level capacity test
Full charge-discharge cycling at C/3 establishes usable capacity, internal resistance and cell-to-cell balance.
- 4
EIS fingerprinting
1 mHz–10 kHz impedance sweeps separate SEI growth, lithium plating and contact resistance degradation modes.
- 5
AI optical inspection
Machine-vision inspection of busbars, welds and cell cans flags mechanical defects that block second-life reuse.
- 6
Grade assignment
Grade A (≥85% SOH), B (75–85%), C (65–75%) and D routes are assigned, with D-grade material released to refining.

Local rules
Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 (BWMR) · Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards
The station operates under Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board consent in a RIICO industrial area and grades material for producers operating under the Battery Waste Management Rules 2022. Because many consignments cross the state border with Haryana, interstate transport paperwork is checked at intake.
Before you book into Bhiwadi, Rajasthan
- Bus and heavy truck packs are better routed to an integrated campus with lifting equipment.
- Give module counts and formats when booking so the right fixtures are prepared before arrival.
- Loads from Haryana should carry correct interstate documentation to avoid delays at the gate.
- Declare damaged items in advance; the site has limited quarantine space.
Damaged or defective packs are handled under a separate quarantine protocol — flag them in the form and the team calls you back the same day.
