What Gravita India does

Gravita India Limited is an Indian public listed company (BSE: 533282, NSE: GRAVITA), founded in 1992 by Rajat Agrawal and headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, that operates as a diversified non-ferrous metals and battery recycling manufacturer. Its core operations span recycling and refining of lead, aluminium, plastics, rubber/tyres, copper, and lithium-ion batteries, producing refined lead ingots (99.97-99.99% purity), lead alloys (lead-tin, lead-antimony, lead-calcium, lead-arsenic), aluminium alloys, polypropylene granules, recycled tyre products, copper and copper alloys, and atomised lead powder for industrial use. The underlying technology relies on advanced pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes, including controlled dismantling, mechanical separation, and chemical recovery for lithium-ion battery recycling, executed across Indian plants (Phagi-Jaipur, Mundra, Kathua, Chittoor, Mumbai via RMIL) and international subsidiaries in UAE, Mozambique, Netherlands, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Senegal, Ghana, Togo, and Romania.

Gravita makes money through four primary revenue streams: (1) manufacturing and sale of recycled metals and products (hardware sales), (2) turnkey recycling plant solutions (professional services) sold across Asia, Africa, and Europe, (3) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance services and consultancy under Indian CPCB regulations (professional services), and (4) raw material procurement and trading of scrap including lead-acid batteries, aluminium, plastic, rubber, and lithium battery scrap. Products are priced commodity-linked to London Metal Exchange benchmarks on a unit-pricing basis for enterprise customers. The customer base spans lead-acid battery manufacturers, automotive, telecom infrastructure, solar and energy storage integrators, power cable companies (including Power Grid Corporation of India), healthcare facilities requiring radiation shielding, and EPR-obligated producers — a horizontal segmentation across industrial verticals served in 70+ countries.

The company's strategic posture is defined by its VISION 2030 plan targeting 8+ LTPA aggregate capacity by FY29 and 20-25% volume CAGR / 35% earnings CAGR over three years, funded by ₹1,225-1,700 crore of capex. The recent acquisition of Rashtriya Metal Industries Limited (98.95% stake, ₹559.08 crore, completed March 2026) marks entry into copper recycling; the Mandvi copper plant (₹160 crore), Mundra lithium-ion battery plant (₹14 crore), and 80,300 MTPA Mundra lead expansion (₹490 million) executed within 2026 reflect rapid execution on the strategic plan. FY26 revenue reached ₹4,265.27 crore (+10.25% YoY) with net profit of ₹378.80 crore (+21.26% YoY) and 25% ROIC, supporting the growth narrative.
