Powering green mobility, VinFast teams up with BatX Energies to recycle EV batteries, recover rare materials, and build a circular future for India’s electric journey.
VinFast Auto India has entered a partnership with BatX Energies to manage the full lifecycle of its high-voltage (HV) electric vehicle (EV) batteries in India. The collaboration focuses on recycling, recovering critical materials, and repurposing used batteries.
Under the agreement, BatX Energies will collect and recycle VinFast’s used batteries, extracting key minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These recovered materials will be reused in VinFast’s manufacturing operations and after-sales network. This process will minimise environmental impact while ensuring full traceability of all recovered components.
The partnership may expand to include second-life battery applications, urban mining, and advanced material recovery. These future initiatives could support both Indian and Vietnamese sustainability goals.
According to the company, the move supports India’s push for sustainable electric mobility and helps VinFast establish a localised battery value chain. It aligns with its broader goal to reduce dependency on imported materials and promote a circular economy.
Simultaneously, VinFast India is setting up a manufacturing plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The company is preparing to launch its VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs in the Indian market. It is also building an ecosystem for EV adoption that includes charging infrastructure, service networks, and now battery recycling.
BatX Energies specialises in high-voltage battery recycling and repurposing. The firm uses advanced recovery technologies to extract high-grade materials that can be reintegrated into the battery production cycle. Its focus on sustainability and traceability makes it a key partner in the EV ecosystem.
