High-efficiency NMP recovery systems designed for India's fast-growing lithium battery and new energy manufacturing sector
India is rapidly emerging as one of the world's most important markets for lithium-ion battery manufacturing, driven by the government's ambitious PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery storage. With over ₹18,100 crore allocated for battery manufacturing, India is attracting global and domestic investment at an unprecedented scale.
N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) is a critical solvent used extensively in the electrode coating process of lithium-ion batteries. As India's battery production scales up rapidly, the volume of NMP consumed — and the need for efficient NMP recycling — is growing exponentially. Facilities in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu are increasingly integrating NMP recovery systems to reduce operational costs and comply with environmental regulations.
The Indian government's push toward a circular economy, aligned with its National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Net Zero 2070 targets, makes NMP recycling not just an environmental responsibility but a competitive business advantage for Indian manufacturers.

Our team of nearly 1,000 employees, with around 20% dedicated to research and development, ensures continuous technological advancement — delivering reliable, efficient, and cost-effective NMP recovery solutions to Indian battery manufacturers and chemical plants.
Key forces shaping the future of NMP recovery and circular economy in India's new energy sector
India's EV market is projected to reach 10 million units annually by 2030. As battery gigafactories scale up in states like Gujarat, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, NMP consumption in electrode slurry coating is surging — making on-site NMP recycling systems economically essential for cost control and sustainability compliance.
Major players including Ola Electric, Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, and international JV partners are establishing large-scale battery manufacturing plants across India. Each facility requires industrial-grade NMP distillation and recovery systems to manage solvent waste efficiently and meet CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) environmental standards.
India's updated environmental regulations and growing ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) investor scrutiny are pushing battery manufacturers to adopt closed-loop NMP recycling. Recovering and reusing NMP reduces hazardous solvent waste by up to 95%, significantly lowering both environmental impact and raw material procurement costs.
Small and mid-sized Indian battery manufacturers are increasingly adopting modular NMP distillation systems that can be scaled as production grows. These plug-and-play solutions reduce capital expenditure and allow flexible deployment across multiple production lines without extensive infrastructure investment.
Leading Chinese NMP equipment manufacturers like Pengjin Technology are partnering with Indian distributors and engineering firms to localise installation, commissioning, and after-sales support. This technology transfer is accelerating the adoption of proven NMP recovery systems across India's emerging battery belt.
NMP is an expensive industrial solvent, with prices fluctuating significantly in global markets. Indian manufacturers that invest in high-efficiency NMP recycling systems can recover over 99% of solvent purity, dramatically reducing their dependence on imported NMP and improving overall battery manufacturing cost competitiveness.
Where and how NMP recovery systems are being deployed across India's industrial landscape
Large-scale battery manufacturing plants in India's western and southern industrial corridors use NMP as a primary solvent in cathode slurry preparation. Integrated NMP distillation systems allow these facilities to recover and reuse solvent in a closed loop, achieving both regulatory compliance and significant cost savings of ₹8–15 crore annually per facility.
India's automotive hub cities are home to a growing number of EV battery pack assembly plants. Mid-scale NMP recovery units from Pengjin Technology are ideal for these facilities, offering compact footprints, automated operation, and recovery rates exceeding 98% — perfectly suited for Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive supplier environments.
NMP is widely used as a solvent in pharmaceutical API synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. India's world-leading pharma industry, concentrated in Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, represents a significant opportunity for NMP distillation equipment deployment — enabling solvent recovery that meets both cost and regulatory objectives under REACH and domestic CPCB norms.
As India rapidly deploys grid-scale energy storage to support renewable energy integration (solar and wind), ESS battery manufacturers are scaling NMP usage. Modular small-scale NMP distillation units are being installed at new ESS facilities in Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu to ensure sustainable and cost-efficient production from day one.
NMP is a key solvent in PCB manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, and industrial coating applications — all of which are growing rapidly in India's electronics manufacturing sector under the "Make in India" initiative. NMP recycling systems help these industries manage solvent waste responsibly while reducing procurement costs.
India's premier research institutions and defence organisations are investing in battery technology R&D. Pengjin's small-scale modular NMP distillation equipment is perfectly suited for laboratory and pilot-scale applications, enabling researchers at IIT Madras, ISRO, and DRDO to manage NMP safely and economically during battery prototype development.
