On May 6, Under the framework of the EU-India Trade & Technology Council (TTC)- Working Group 2 on Green and Clean Energy Technologies, the European Union and the Government of India today announced the launch of a third coordinated call for proposals focused on the Recycling of EV Batteries. With a combined funding pool of €15.2 Million, this initiative marks a significant leap in bilateral cooperation to secure critical raw materials and drive the global transition to a circular economy. The call (HORIZON-CL5-2026-09-D2-04) is jointly funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe program and India’s Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), will support the development of advanced recycling technologies, including high-efficiency material recovery, safe and digitalised collection systems, and pilot-scale demonstration of innovative processes. A key feature is the establishment of a joint EU-India pilot line in India, enabling real-world validation and industrial deployment.
