Namo e-Waste Management Plans Transition to Integrated Mineral Recovery Business Amid Major Capacity Expansion​

Namo e-Waste Management Limited, a key player in India’s recycling sector, is solidifying its position as an integrated e-waste and battery recycler. The management highlighted a strategic shift from traditional recycling toward becoming a fully integrated critical mineral and resource recovery business, aligning with the goals of the circular economy and the National Critical Minerals Mission.

The company's growth story is underscored by recent financial performance and ambitious expansion projects designed to enhance value addition through advanced resource processing.

Financial Performance and Operational Scale​

For the Fiscal Year 2025-26, Namo e-Waste Management demonstrated significant operational momentum. The company reported a revenue of 195 Crore, marking a 29% growth year-over-year (YoY). Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at 14.35 Crore, reflecting a substantial 70% increase YoY.

Management provided future guidance, expecting EBITDA margins in the range of 12–15% and Net margins between 7–8.5%.

Key operational metrics and financial indicators are summarized below:

Strategic Expansion and Critical Mineral Focus​

The company is driving its transformation through large-scale capacity additions and advanced technology integration. A significant expansion project involves the establishment of a new 25,000 MTPA recycling facility in Hyderabad. This plant is slated to commence operations between August and September 2026. The facility is strategically located to tap into the South India market, which accounts for nearly 22% of the nation's e-waste generation, promising improved sourcing efficiency and reduced logistics costs.

The focus on high-value resource recovery will be achieved through specialized processes:

• Hydrometallurgy Pilot: A pilot plant focused on hydrometallurgy is scheduled to become operational in Nashik by December 2026.
• Refining Facility: Following the success of the pilot, the company plans to establish a commercial refining facility in Haryana. This project carries an estimated investment of 60 crore and is designed for the recovery of critical minerals including Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, and Manganese. This technology boasts recovery efficiencies exceeding 90%, significantly increasing value over conventional recycling methods.

Competitive Advantage and Management Outlook​

Namo e-Waste Management emphasized that its competitive advantage in the market stems from a direct sourcing model, comprehensive pan-India collection infrastructure, and continuous in-house process development. The company's operations are well positioned to benefit from rising EV adoption rates and stricter Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations across India.

The management reiterated an ambition to evolve into a fully integrated circular resource recovery entity, capable of processing over 12 types of rare earth, precious, and critical metals. These ongoing projects and expansion initiatives have the potential to increase annual revenue from around 200 crore to early 1,100 crore over the coming years. Furthermore, management noted that the company remains almost debtfree, with future returns expected to be supported by Telangana government incentives once the Hyderabad facility is operational.
