What this call funds
This call funds a joint EU-India project to build and run a pilot recycling line in India for lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles, aiming to recover materials like lithium and graphite more efficiently, safely and cheaply than current methods. It also supports better logistics for collecting, sorting and safely deactivating end-of-life batteries, including working with informal collection networks. The goal is to strengthen EU-India cooperation on battery recycling technology and align both regions' recycling practices with each other's regulations and priorities.
