The Critical Mineral Recycling Incentive Scheme is a centrally sponsored programme under the Ministry of Mines. It is a part of the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM).
The scheme focuses on recovering essential minerals from secondary sources such as e-waste and used lithium-ion batteries. These minerals are crucial for electric vehicles, advanced batteries, electronics, and renewable energy technologies.
By encouraging extraction and reuse, the scheme aims to reduce India’s dependence on costly imports. It also supports the development of a circular economy framework.
Through this initiative, India seeks to ensure sustainable use of resources and build long-term resilience in clean energy and technology sectors.
