Mitarsh e-Tech builds 25,000 MT e-waste recycling facility in Gujarat

Mitarsh e-Tech LLP, a subsidiary of Mitarsh Energy Pvt. Ltd., held the Groundbreaking Ceremony for its new electronic waste recycling facility at Varmor village in Mandal Taluka, Gujarat.

The upcoming plant will have an annual processing capacity of 25,000 metric tons of e-waste, placing it among the larger dedicated recycling facilities in India. The company held that the recycling plant is expected to begin operations within six months and will support scientific waste management and resource recovery efforts.

The ceremony was attended by Gujarat Viramgam MLA Hardik Patel. Mhit Patel, Directors of Mitarsh Energy, stated, “Our mission is to establish one of India’s most advanced e-waste recycling ecosystems, strengthening environmental protection while creating opportunities that benefit future generations.”

According to the company, the e-waste recycling facility is expected to generate 75–100+ direct employment opportunities and contribute to the socio-economic development of the region.

Mitarsh Energy, the parent company, continues to expand its sustainability-oriented businesses. The company oversees 9 MWp+ solar assets and manages over 9 GW of solar and wind Balance of Plant (BOP) operations across India for independent power producers and industrial clients. With a workforce of more than 1,200 professionals, the company stated that it focuses on reliable asset management and engineering services.

Mitarsh e-Tech is a two year old firm incorporated in Dec 2023 with registered office in Ahmadabad, Gujarat.

E-Waste & India

India ranks as the world’s third-largest generator of e-waste, producing around 4.1 million tonnes annually—a figure that continues to rise sharply. In 2023–24, only about 43 per cent of this waste was formally processed, leaving nearly 57 per cent—close to one million tonnes—unmanaged, despite a significant improvement from just 22 per cent processing in 2019–20. Alarmingly, an estimated 90–95 per cent of India’s e-waste is still handled by the informal sector, where unsafe practices such as open burning and acid leaching are commonly used, posing serious risks to human health and the environment.

Against this backdrop, the addition of modern, scientific e-waste recycling capacity—such as the facility being developed by Mitarsh e-Tech—has become critical for India, both to bridge the processing gap and to transition towards safer, more sustainable resource recovery systems.
