In FY 2024-25, India remained a beacon of economic resilience amid global uncertainties, registering a GDP growthof 6.5% and retaining its status as the fastest-growing major economy. Robust momentum was seen across services,manufacturing and agriculture, supported by declining inflation, improved fiscal indicators and rising FDI inflows. Thefourth quarter alone recorded a striking 7.4% growth, underscoring the economy's steady revival despite externalshocks. Government-led infrastructure development, supportive monetary policy and strong private consumptioncontinued to drive economic activity, creating a conducive environment for industries like recycling that contribute tosustainability and import substitution.
The global lead recycling industry witnessed steady progress, with over 60% of refined lead supply met throughsecondary sources. Demand remained strong across automotive, telecom, renewable energy and backup powersectors. However, the sector continues to face challenges such as informal recycling, regulatory gaps and raw materialvolatility. In India, where over 85% of lead demand is fulfilled through recycling, formal players like Gravita have benefitedfrom enhanced compliance enforcement, growing institutional demand and regulatory push through Battery Waste
Management Rules and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The aluminium and plastic recycling segments arealso gaining traction, supported by electrification trends, sustainable packaging needs and increasing industrial uptake.
