India's first AI-native critical materials supply chain

The sovereign
supply chain.

zeroX Energies instruments India's fragmented scrap economy with AI — consolidating two million informal collectors into one verified, traceable pipeline for lithium-ion, lead-acid, rare-earth and e-waste materials.

Industrial truth, measured at the gate.
§ 02The bottleneck

India sits on an urban mine of critical minerals. Nine in ten of those atoms vanish into an unorganised shadow market — uninvoiced, unverified, untraceable.

01 · Volume
14MMT

E-waste, lead-acid and lithium-ion scrap generated annually across India — the world's third-largest stream.

02 · Leakage
90%

of that stream is captured by the informal kabadiwala network — no invoice, no chemistry verification, no audit trail.

03 · Import gap
100%

of lithium, cobalt and nickel — the minerals behind India's EV and AI build-out — is currently imported.

§ 03The zeroX architecture

One operating system. Three instruments.

  • zeroX OS instruments the physical world at three layers — cognition on the street, verification at the gate, capital at settlement.
  • Software, hardware and fintech fused into a single custody spine.

Mobile edge AI for the street.

A computer-vision app in the hands of the kabadiwala. Point a phone at a battery pack: on-device models classify chemistry, guide safe disassembly and quote a live gate price — offline-first, in the collector's own language.

T+0 liquidity. Not T+30.

Algorithmic pricing escrows funds before the truck arrives; UPI releases the instant the gate clears. Every settled lot builds an informal-sector credit score — turning cash-only vendors into bankable businesses.

§ 04Material ontologies

What we move.

Lithium, cobalt, nickel, lead, neodymium, gold. The physical substrate of every AI cluster, EV pack and grid-scale storage system. zeroX routes four domain streams from informal supply into verified, formal offtake.

§ 05The externality ledger

Every verified tonne is a tonne that isn't burned, dumped or leached.

India's shadow market recovers metal with open-air lead smelting and acid baths that poison air, soil and groundwater. Routing the same material through verified gates to authorised processors is not just compliance — it is remediation at industrial scale.

01 · Air & soil
0

open-air smelting. Every lead-acid lot on the network terminates at a CPCB-authorised smelter — never a backyard furnace.

02 · Carbon
85%

CO₂e for recovered metals versus virgin extraction — every formal tonne displaces mining, shipping and primary refining emissions.

03 · Custody
100%

digital custody from street to processor. No lot leaves a gate without a GST invoice, EPR token and BWM 2022 manifest.
