Amaravati, Oct 14(APAC Media): N.A.N. Silox GreenMet has appointed Vijay Pasupathy as its Chief Executive Officer as the company prepares to develop a ₹1,400 crore battery recycling plant in Andhra Pradesh.
Pasupathy brings over 20 years of experience in industrial operations and strategy. He previously served as Executive Vice President at Epsilon Advanced Materials and held senior roles at Orbia and EY. In his new role, he will oversee the development of the company’s lithium-ion battery recycling facility at Naidupeta and its planned expansion into battery materials manufacturing.
Leadership Team And Expansion Plans
The company has received Consent to Establish (CTE) for the proposed plant and is moving ahead with groundwork. The facility is planned to have an annual shredding capacity of 40,000 tonnes and hydrometallurgical processing capacity of 20,000 tonnes, with operations to be introduced in phases.
N.A.N. Silox GreenMet is also exploring expansion into precursor cathode active material (pCAM) and cathode active material (CAM) manufacturing. The company plans to make additional investments beyond the initial ₹1,400 crore outlay and is pursuing global technology partnerships.
Alongside Pasupathy’s appointment, the company has named Rakesh Patel as Chief Operating Officer, Harish Aich as Chief Technology Officer, M. Sri Rama Krishna Murthy as Deputy CFO, Partha Reddy as Chief Supply Chain Officer, and Alisha Abbas as Head of HR.
The company aims to connect battery recycling with domestic battery material production. The move could help strengthen India’s battery supply chain by enabling recovered critical metals to be processed into materials used in lithium-ion batteries.
