Runaya Metsource Limited, a Vedanta company specialising in
circular economy and waste-to-wealth solutions, is expanding its critical
metals production platform with new capacities under execution for cobalt,
cadmium and copper, along with other base metals and their compounds.
Runaya currently operates fully commissioned facilities in
Rajasthan with an installed capacity of over 70,000 tonnes per annum,
converting industrial residues into a portfolio of critical and base metals.
As part of its growth strategy, Runaya is expanding capacity
at the Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan. Building on its existing operational
base, the expansion will position the company as a multi-critical metal
production platform, creating a cluster-driven ecosystem in India while
supporting local job creation.
Cobalt, cadmium and copper are key inputs for energy
storage, electric vehicle systems, power grids, renewable energy
infrastructure, electronics and data centres. Scaling domestic production of
these metals through advanced processes such as solvent extraction supports
India’s critical minerals mission and reduces import dependence in sectors
vital to the country’s industrial future.
Naivedya Agarwal,
Managing Director, Runaya, said, “We are advancing India’s Critical
Minerals Mission by developing an integrated circular platform for the recovery
of critical metals. With current operations and additional capacity, we are
creating a cluster-driven large-scale, value-added manufacturing ecosystem.
This growing scale supports long-term domestic security across energy,
mobility, electronics and advanced manufacturing, while delivering sustainable
value.”
