Phase II will involve the deployment of Rain Carbon’s modular distillation technology, with an annual capacity of approximately 200,000 MT per year. This phase will leverage domestic Indian coal tar and petroleum feedstocks, supplemented by imported materials.
RAIN has obtained the required approvals, including environmental clearances, ensuring that the facility meets sustainability standards. Moreover, it will upgrade pitch and process byproducts from upcoming steel projects in the region, crucial for India’s burgeoning graphite battery industries.
