Bharat Innovates 2026 presents LOHUM, a pioneering Indian deep tech company transforming the future of clean energy through sustainable critical minerals, advanced materials, and battery recycling. As India’s largest producer and processor of sustainable critical minerals, LOHUM is building a circular economy for the energy transition by recovering and refining valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and rare earth elements. Through cutting edge recycling, refining, and material innovation, the company is strengthening supply chain resilience while supporting the global shift towards electric mobility and renewable energy.
Bharat Innovates 2026 is taking LOHUM to Nice, France | 14–16 June 2026, showcasing India’s leadership in clean technology, critical minerals, and sustainable manufacturing on the global stage.
With innovations spanning battery recycling, lithium refining, advanced battery materials, and rare earth magnet production, LOHUM is helping build a more sustainable and resource secure future. As the world accelerates towards net zero goals, LOHUM represents how Indian innovation is creating global impact through climate technology and circular economy solutions.

LOHUM has been awarded the rights to restart, upgrade, and maintain the 50,000 TPA Gujarat Copper Project at Jhagadia by Hindustan Copper Limited. 99.9997% pure Grade-A cathodes. 20-year revenue-sharing.
Upstream. Downstream. Fully integrated. LOHUM is operationalising its Zimbabwe lithium mines in the next 1-2 months, targeting 30,000 TPA of lithium carbonate equivalent and a course toward Rs 10,000 crore in revenue by 2029.
The aspiration for the year ahead: move from deliberation to action.
Thank you Dr Subodh Pandey, Dr Ashish Mohan and the CII team, and all participants for the depth and expertise brought to the discussion.

India cannot afford to keep playing catch-up in critical minerals. We need to leapfrog technology innovation.
At the first CII National Taskforce on Advanced Materials, Critical Minerals & Metals meeting, Rajat Verma, Co-Chair & Founder-CEO, LOHUM, framed the FY 26-27 agenda.
Alongside Chair Dr Subodh Pandey and CII Executive Director Dr Ashish Mohan, what came through clearly:
Sharper prioritisation, faster execution
Stronger industry, academic & international collaboration
A clearer path from discussion to implementation
From cobalt refining to rare earth magnets to photoresist chemicals for semiconductors, LOHUM processes 50,000+ MT of critical minerals annually across 10 facilities. India's lab-to-scale journey is at mission pace.
India's path to global leadership runs through domestic end-to-end manufacturing. Hon'ble Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw visited LOHUM's R&D Centre, Rare Earth Pilot Line, CAM Plant & Lithium Refinery. 🇮🇳
From equipment fabrication to metallurgy talent to financing at scale, the ground-level conversation covered what it truly takes to build India's critical materials processing industry. Real challenges, real solutions.
Critical minerals are the backbone of everything we use today. The Critical Mineral Industry impacts around 40-50% of the Global output. With the National Mineral Policy 2025, India is going aggressive to secure the entire value chain, from mining and refining to downstream manufacturing and recycling. We aren’t just consumers, we are building the capacity to own our resource future.

Technology is becoming a key anchor of India-Africa cooperation & development. At “What’s Next for India–Africa Relations?”, the panel “Critical Technologies in a Contested World,” focused on how India & Africa can work together across digital public infrastructure, clean energy, critical minerals, agricultural innovation & technology safeguards. Bringing the critical African perspective, @Chylo360, Professor, @JindalGlobalUNI noted, that "with minerals, the rest of the world has often approached Africa to come in and extract.” India’s opportunity is to help change that model through deeper co-development and implementation. That shift depends first on energy. @Ashish_Khanna, Director General, @isolaralliance put it clearly: “Energy is the binding constraint for growth in Africa. You cannot have digitisation, health, growth without energy.” It also means moving beyond extraction. Rajat Verma, Founder and CEO, @lohum argued that “India needs to bring its refining and processing capabilities to Africa, not just because it is rule mandated, but in the true spirit of partnership.” On digital public infrastructure, Sanjay Jain, Director of Digital Public Infrastructure, @gatesfoundation stressed adaptation over replication: “The principles of DPI need to be taken from India and then localised.” But scale must come with safeguards. As Raja Rajeshwari Chandrasekharan, DPI Safeguards Advisor, @UNDP cautioned, “DPI is one of the best exports that India has created. But when DPI is poorly designed and deployed, it can run into many risks like cyber security, vendor lock-ins, exclusionary risks & capacity issues.” Together, the discussion underscored a sharper proposition: the next phase of India–Africa technology cooperation must connect energy access, digital systems, critical minerals, local value creation & risk mitigation. CSEP’s Africa hub, TARA, is focused precisely on this intersection: bringing together policy research, industry insight, multilateral experience & development practice to identify how cooperation can move from ambition to delivery. @vedavn
To secure the India-Africa critical minerals corridor, we need shared infrastructure. Africa has the resources, India has the refining. The future is local beneficiation, blended finance, and equitable JVs.
At the CSEP conference on 'What's Next for India-Africa Relations', LOHUM Founder & CEO Rajat Verma joined policy, industry, and sustainable development stakeholders to discuss ‘Critical Technologies in a Contested World’.
Your phone, EV, and even defense hardware still lean on magnets mostly made in one country. 80%+ rare earth magnets. That’s the risk. Learn how LOHUM is changing that paradigm.
India’s answer to China’s grip on critical minerals? Sovereign supply chains (being built at LOHUM) 🇮🇳🔋 Watch LOHUM SVP Business, Chetan Jain, with The Rocket Media on breaking the monopoly, from India:

Producing high-grade rCB is not a byproduct of pyrolysis. It requires dedicated upgrading capability and collaboration with tyre manufacturers. This is exactly what LOHUM Talbros Carbon is building toward.
#Pyrolysis#SustainableMaterials#EPR
India's tyre EPR framework has created a compliance pull for recycling. The next phase is building a quality pull for circular materials. That was the central theme at the Tyre EPR session of #ParyavaranNitiManthan.
#TyreRecycling#EPRIndia
Key gaps the session surfaced:
→ Pyrolysis and rCB upgradation are distinct, specialised functions
→ BIS-led quality standards for recycled materials are needed
→ Clearer regulatory classification for crumb rubber and rCB
