What are Nexus Power batteries made from?

Nexus Power batteries are made using agricultural waste as a primary raw material.

How much better do they perform?

The batteries perform up to 25% better than comparable standard battery models.

Are they truly compostable?

Yes, once the metallic and plastic components are removed, the internal mixture can be safely composted.

The Agri-Waste Battery Breakthrough: Why Nexus Power is the New Green Gold

TL;DR

Twin sisters Nishita and Nikita Baliarsingh have developed revolutionary EV batteries made from agricultural waste. Nexus Power's technology performs 25% better than standard models and offers a sustainable, compostable solution to the e-waste problem.

This article explores recent developments and strategic shifts within the Indian startup ecosystem, highlighting key funding rounds, technological innovations, and market trends.

Can we solve crop burning and the battery crisis at once?

India's annual municipal solid waste could fill 200,000 Olympic pools, and crop burning continues to be a major environmental challenge. Nexus Power, co-founded by twin sisters Nishita and Nikita Baliarsingh, is tackling both with a "waste-to-wealth" battery technology that is truly revolutionary.

How do Nexus Power batteries work?

Nexus Power utilizes agri-waste to create high-performance battery cells. These cells aren't just eco-friendly; they're efficient, performing up to 25% better than comparable models. By sourcing "waste" that India has in abundance, they are solving the lithium import problem while preventing the emissions associated with stubble burning.

Is this technology truly sustainable?

Yes. Once the battery's life cycle is over, the cathode/anode mixture can actually be composted after being separated from the metal and plastic components. This addresses the growing concern of e-waste from the EV transition, making the entire life cycle of the vehicle more eco-friendly.

Vichaarak Perspective

The real "innovation" here isn't just the chemistry; it's the process compatibility. These batteries are designed to be manufactured using existing equipment, lowering the barrier for mass adoption. This is exactly the kind of "frugal innovation" that we've seen in other sectors, like Agnikul's orbital edge compute platform.
