Many battery alloys, particularly in older or industrial-grade batteries,<br>are hardened with small amounts of antimony. Recovering that antimony as a separate,<br>sellable output, rather than letting it stay locked inside general lead alloy, is what antimony<br>extraction from battery scrap actually means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a narrow, technical process. But the metal it recovers has become one of the most<br>closely watched materials in global trade policy over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Metalloid With an Outsized Role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antimony is technically a metalloid, not a metal, sharing properties of both metals and<br>non-metals. According to the United States Geological Survey, it is used mainly in flame<br>retardants and in lead alloys, particularly for lead-acid batteries, and also plays a role in<br>semiconductors, ammunition, night-vision equipment and other defence applications. It is a<br>small-volume material with an outsized strategic footprint, which is exactly why its supply<br>chain has drawn government attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every lead-acid battery contains meaningful antimony. Battery alloy composition varies<br>by design and manufacturer, and USGS data shows that antimony content in newer,<br>maintenance-free automotive batteries has generally declined since the early 2000s in<br>favour of calcium-lead alloys. Antimony recovery is more relevant to older-design, industrial<br>and certain starter-battery scrap streams, where antimony-bearing lead alloys are still<br>common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Supply Chain Concentrated in One Country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China produces roughly 48 percent of the world&#8217;s mined antimony. In August 2024, it<br>announced export controls on the metal, effective mid-September that year, and by<br>December 2024 antimony shipments to the United States had fallen 97 percent while prices<br>rose 200 percent, according to CSIS. Antimony that traded at under $6 a pound in 2023 hit a<br>record of roughly $27 a pound in July 2025, per Fastmarkets, before settling into a range of<br>$26,000 to $47,000 a tonne in early 2026, still three to five times pre-2024 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A partial suspension of the export ban to the US, agreed in November 2025, runs only until<br>late November 2026. The underlying licensing regime, including a whitelist that authorises<br>just a small number of Chinese companies to export antimony at all, remains fully in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For any country dependent on imported antimony, and India is one of them, that<br>concentration represents a structural supply risk rather than a temporary price spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where India Is Positioning Itself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s Ministry of Mines placed antimony on the country&#8217;s official list of 30 critical minerals in<br>2023. The National Critical Mineral Mission, approved by the Union Cabinet in January 2025,<br>treats recovery from secondary sources, including e-waste and battery scrap, as part of the<br>same strategy as fresh exploration, and includes a dedicated \u20b91,500 Crores incentive<br>scheme aimed specifically at building recycling capacity for these minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a policy signal worth noting: for a metal India struggles to mine domestically at scale,<br>recovering it from material already in circulation is one route to strengthening domestic<br>supply security, alongside exploration, diversified imports and international partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building the Capability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On JRRL&#8217;s Q4 FY 2025-26 earnings call held on May 18, 2026, Chief Financial Officer<br>Hemant Jain confirmed the Company&#8217;s antimony project at &#8220;around \u20b920 Crores&#8221; as part of its<br>planned capex for the coming year. Joint Managing Director Mayank Pareek described the<br>project directly on the same call: antimony present in the lead used in lead-acid batteries can<br>be separated out, and free antimony carries better value realisation than leaving it<br>embedded in the lead alloy. Management has flagged it as a potential profitability driver over<br>the medium term, built on a recycling stream the Company already processes at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an industry watching China&#8217;s export policy closely, that kind of domestic, scrap-based<br>recovery is a meaningful piece of the supply buffer that critical mineral strategy is meant to<br>build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Jain Resource Recycling Limited, it reflects a broader pattern in the Company&#8217;s growth:<br>some of the highest-value opportunities lie not in processing more scrap, but in recovering<br>more from the scrap already being processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources &amp; References<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>USGS &#8211; Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025: Antimony<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/periodicals\/mcs2025\/mcs2025-antimony.pdf\">https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/periodicals\/mcs2025\/mcs2025-antimony.pdf<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USGS &#8211; Antimony Recycling in the United States<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/of\/2003\/of03-019\/of03-019.pdf\">https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/of\/2003\/of03-019\/of03-019.pdf<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSIS &#8211; China&#8217;s Antimony Export Restrictions: The Impact on U.S. National Security<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/chinas-antimony-export-restrictions-impact-us-nationalsecurity\">https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/chinas-antimony-export-restrictions-impact-us-nationalsecurity<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fastmarkets &#8211; Antimony 2026: Ample Supply, Strategic Demand<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastmarkets.com\/insights\/antimony-2026-ample-supply-strategic-demand-to-guide-geopolitical-oversight\/\">https:\/\/www.fastmarkets.com\/insights\/antimony-2026-ample-supply-strategic-demand-to-guide-geopolitical-oversight\/<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Oregon Group &#8211; China Lifts Export Ban on Gallium, Germanium, Antimony<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/theoregongroup.com\/commodities\/gallium-germanium\/china-lifts-export-ban-gallium-germanium-antimony\/\">https:\/\/theoregongroup.com\/commodities\/gallium-germanium\/china-lifts-export-ban-gallium-germanium-antimony\/<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drishti IAS &#8211; National Critical Mineral Mission<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drishtiias.com\/daily-updates\/daily-news-analysis\/national-critical-mineral-mission\">https:\/\/www.drishtiias.com\/daily-updates\/daily-news-analysis\/national-critical-mineral-mission<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jain Resource Recycling Limited &#8211; Q4 FY 2025-26 Earnings Call Transcript, filed with<br>NSE, May 18, 2026<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/nsearchives.nseindia.com\/corporate\/JAINMETAL_25052026141411_Earnings_Call_Transcript_Q4_sd.pdf\">https:\/\/nsearchives.nseindia.com\/corporate\/JAINMETAL_25052026141411_Earnings_Call_Transcript_Q4_sd.pdf<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a lead-acid battery reaches the end of its life and is processed for lead [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,14],"tags":[7,15],"class_list":["post-151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metal-recycling-industry","category-recycling-non-ferrous-metals","tag-metal-recycling-industry","tag-recycling-non-ferrous-metals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
