Lohum targets 30,000 metric tons a year of lithium carbonate refining capacity in India

Nikkei Asia reports that Lohum has begun lithium mining in Zimbabwe. CEO Rajat Verma told the outlet the company plans to process ore there into lithium sulphate, then ship it to India for refining into lithium carbonate. He said reaching the planned 30,000 metric tons of annual capacity could take up to three years. The refined lithium would feed Lohum’s cathode materials plant for EV batteries.
