Attero Plans INR 150 Crore Investment to Expand E-Waste, Copper Recycling and R&D Infrastructure Across India

Attero has announced an investment of around INR 150 crore to expand its national recycling and R&D network. The expansion includes three new e-waste recycling plants in Pune, Bengaluru, and Faridabad, a copper recycling plant in Reengus (Rajasthan), and a strengthened R&D Centre in Greater Noida.

The three new e-waste plants will each have a capacity of 25,000 tonnes per year, adding 75,000 tonnes to Attero’s e-waste processing capacity. The copper recycling plant in Reengus will add another 25,000 tonnes, bringing the total planned capacity addition to 100,000 tonnes per year. With these new facilities, Attero’s overall processing capacity across e-waste and metals recovery will reach 244,000 tonnes per year.

The expansion will support Attero’s business units by improving feedstock availability, reducing long-distance waste movement, and increasing access to formal recycling in high-consumption markets. The initiative is expected to create 800 to 1000 jobs across operations, automation, safety, warehousing, and logistics.

Nitin Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Attero, said: “Recycling today is driven by technology. Robotics, automated dismantling systems and precision-based material recovery tools help us extract metals with far greater accuracy and safety. As India consumes more electronics and batteries, the country needs recycling facilities that can handle large volumes while maintaining consistent quality. The plants we are building reflect this need. They will use robotic dismantling lines, automated battery cutters and advanced sorting systems that raise efficiency and reduce the loss of valuable materials. Our aim is to make high-quality recycling accessible across regions while building processes that are ready for the future.”
