🧵 India’s Recycling & Waste-to-Value Leaders ♻️ India generates 62 million tonnes of waste every year — only a fraction gets recycled. 🌍 But a few players are quietly building multi-billion businesses by turning trash into cash. Here are 9 companies across e-waste,
1/ Eco Recycling (Ecoreco) – E-waste ⚡ Think of all your discarded laptops & mobiles. Ecoreco ensures they don’t end up in landfills. FY25: Revenue ₹46.3 cr, PAT ₹23.4 cr (scalable niche). Plays in: IT asset disposal, data destruction, lamp recycling, precious-metal recovery.
2/ Gravita India – Lead & Battery recycling 🔋 Every car battery that’s junked? Gravita gives it a second life. Q1 FY26: Revenue ₹1,070 cr, PAT ₹93 cr (+37% YoY). 40% scrap now sourced locally, reducing import risk. 📌 Why it matters: Lead = critical input for batteries,

4/ JG Chemicals – Zinc recycling ➿ Largest zinc oxide maker in India. Uses zinc ash/dross from smelters → converts into chemicals for tyres, paints & pharma. 📌 Why it matters: 70% of tyres use ZnO as activator. Recycling lowers import dependency. Risk: Rubber demand cycles

7/ Enviro Infra Engineers (EIEL) – Water Recycling 💧 Executes advanced water & effluent treatment plants. Recently bagged a ₹400 cr Zero Liquid Discharge project with UF/RO/MVR tech. 📌 Why it matters: Industrial mandates for water reuse are rising — especially in textiles,
8/ Ion Exchange – Industrial ZLD 🌊 Pioneer in water treatment. Q1 FY26: Revenue ₹583 cr (+3% YoY), PAT ₹48 cr (+7%). Order inflows steady; strong play on effluent recycling & resource recovery. 📌 Why it matters: With water stress growing, industries can’t afford
9/ Nupur Recyclers – Scrap Metal 🔩 Processes ferrous & non-ferrous scrap. Q1 FY26: Revenue & profits saw YoY decline; thin margins + governance concerns linger. 📌 Why it matters: India imports a big chunk of scrap — domestic processing saves forex. Risk: Transparency &
🌍 Big Picture EPR laws = more e-waste & plastic recycling. Urban waste monetisation (RDF, compost) gaining traction. ZLD/water reuse becoming mandatory across industries. ♻️ From e-waste to water, these companies are at the frontline of India’s circular economy.
💡 Takeaway: The real gems of the recycling theme will be those who can: Scale beyond local clusters, Monetise waste streams, Manage volatile raw material cycles. 👉 Which of these 9 do you think has the longest runway for growth?
