To achieve this vision, NML will leverage the strong technical expertise and decades of experience of Morita Chemicals Industries Co. Ltd., Japan – one of the world’s most established producers of lithium salts with over 30 years of proven excellence. This collaboration will ensure:

  • Access to Morita’s world-class lithium salt production technology
  • Reliable supply of high-quality electrolyte salts for Neogen’s internal consumption
  • Competitive participation in the global market by offering non-China material supply alternatives

Why NML?
The global push towards clean energy and electric mobility is rapidly increasing the demand for safe, high-quality and sustainable battery materials. By setting up NML, the Neogen Group is taking a major step forward to:

  • Strengthen India’s position in the global lithium-ion battery supply chain
  • Secure local supply of electrolyte salts for its growing electrolyte production business
  • Expand exports to meet the rising global demand for diversified, non-China material sources

Future Outlook
Neogen Ionics Limited had already in advanced discussions with Morita Chemicals Industries, Japan, to form a Joint Venture Company in India. NML has been incorporated as the dedicated platform to facilitate this collaboration and spearhead future growth.

Through NML, Neogen Group is committed to building world-class lithium battery material solutions that power the future of sustainable energy.
