Runaya Metsource Limited, a Vedanta company specialising in circular economy and waste-to-wealth solutions, is expanding its critical metals production platform with new capacities under execution for cobalt, cadmium and copper, along with other base metals and their compounds.

Runaya currently operates fully commissioned facilities in Rajasthan with an installed capacity of over 70,000 tonnes per annum, converting industrial residues into a portfolio of critical and base metals.

As part of its growth strategy, Runaya is expanding capacity at the Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan. Building on its existing operational base, the expansion will position the company as a multi-critical metal production platform, creating a cluster-driven ecosystem in India while supporting local job creation.

Cobalt, cadmium and copper are key inputs for energy storage, electric vehicle systems, power grids, renewable energy infrastructure, electronics and data centres. Scaling domestic production of these metals through advanced processes such as solvent extraction supports India’s critical minerals mission and reduces import dependence in sectors vital to the country’s industrial future.

Naivedya Agarwal, Managing Director, Runaya, said, “We are advancing India’s Critical Minerals Mission by developing an integrated circular platform for the recovery of critical metals. With current operations and additional capacity, we are creating a cluster-driven large-scale, value-added manufacturing ecosystem. This growing scale supports long-term domestic security across energy, mobility, electronics and advanced manufacturing, while delivering sustainable value.”
