Who we collect from in Goa
Manufacturing clusters generate production scrap and off-spec cells during line ramp-up, warranty returns from early vehicles, and validation packs from test tracks. The material is usually single-chemistry and well documented, which makes it some of the cleanest feed in the network.
- Cell and pack assembly plants
- Tier-one module suppliers
- Vehicle assembly lines
- Validation and test centres
How a Goa collection runs
We run scheduled scrap collections from plant gates and tier-one suppliers, with dedicated bins per chemistry and a weighbridge reconciliation against each supplier's scrap log. Off-spec cells that never entered a vehicle are graded separately because their value profile is different from end-of-life packs.

Grading via Chakan, Maharashtra
Every module is tested for capacity, DC resistance and impedance so value is set on measurement, not on age.

Certificate issued
A recovery certificate with achieved percentages per metal and downstream vendor disclosure, in a form accepted for CPCB EPR filings.
The rules in India
Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 (BWMR)
Regulator: Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards
The Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 put extended producer responsibility on everyone who places batteries on the Indian market, including EV batteries. Producers and recyclers register on the CPCB's centralised EPR portal. Registered recyclers generate EPR certificates for the quantities they process, and producers buy these to meet their collection targets. The rules also set rising material recovery targets and phase in minimum use of domestically recycled content.
- Register as a producer on the CPCB EPR portal and file annual returns
- Meet EPR targets with certificates from registered recyclers
- Use recyclers holding State Pollution Control Board consent to operate
- Plan for rising minimum recovery and recycled-content requirements

Where can I recycle an EV battery in Goa?

How much does EV battery recycling cost in Goa?
Most healthy packs carry positive value rather than a cost: modules above 75% state of health settle at second-life rates and the remainder settles against contained metal. Heavily damaged packs can carry a handling charge.
