Indian clean-tech startup BatX Energies has raised $11 million in Series A funding as it scales its battery recycling operations and strengthens domestic production of critical minerals, positioning itself to capitalize on the country’s rapidly growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets.
The funding comes as demand for lithium, cobalt, nickel and other battery materials continues to rise, prompting governments and manufacturers to invest in localized supply chains. For India, where much of the raw material used in battery production is imported, companies capable of recovering valuable minerals from end-of-life batteries are becoming increasingly important to the country’s clean energy ambitions.
The Series A round was led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund (EIF), with participation from MUFG Bank, Prime Venture Partners, Wex Venture Capital, and several existing investors. BatX Energies said it will use the fresh capital to expand its recycling capacity, strengthen research and development, advance its proprietary recovery technologies, and scale commercial operations across India.

Founded in 2020, BatX Energies specializes in recovering high-value materials from lithium-ion batteries using proprietary recycling processes designed to maximize mineral recovery while minimizing environmental impact. The company is developing a circular supply chain that enables battery manufacturers and electric vehicle companies to source recycled critical minerals, reducing dependence on newly mined raw materials.
The investment reflects growing investor interest in battery recycling, a sector that is attracting increased attention as countries seek to secure supplies of strategic minerals amid accelerating electric vehicle adoption. As millions of EV batteries approach the end of their lifecycle over the coming years, recycling is expected to play a critical role in meeting future demand for battery materials while lowering the environmental footprint of battery production.
For BatX Energies, the funding marks another step toward becoming a key player in India’s emerging circular battery economy. The company aims to expand its processing infrastructure, deepen partnerships across the electric mobility ecosystem, and contribute to building a more resilient domestic supply chain for critical minerals at a time when resource security has become a strategic priority worldwide.
