Nupur Recyclers, one of the leading players in the recycling and waste management sector, has announced a significant step in its forward integration strategy with the all-cash acquisition of Tycod Autotech for an enterprise value of INR 240 million.

The deal is set to pivot Nupur Recyclers from primarily a scrap processor to a manufacturer of high-value aluminium alloys and precision-engineered automotive components.

The acquisition is central to Nupur Recyclers’ ambition to move up the value chain, capturing greater profit margins beyond its core scrap processing and recycling operations. By acquiring Tycod, it instantly gains capabilities in value-added manufacturing for the automotive sector.

Following the deal, Nupur Recyclers has committed an additional INR 100 million to modernise Tycod’s production infrastructure. This investment includes the installation of High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), VMC and CNC machinery, upgrades designed to increase manufacturing capacity and help attract new Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partnerships in the coming quarters.

Rajesh Gupta, Managing Director, Nupur Recycling, said, “This acquisition is a strategic forward integration that allows us to capture greater value from our recycling operations. Tycod gives us the capability to not only expand our aluminium alloy ingot sales but also venture into precision manufacturing for the automotive sector. “We’re already dispatching over 100 tonnes of aluminium alloy ingots monthly to Tycod and are ensuring consistent quality and on-time delivery for our key OEM clients. Looking ahead, we’re targeting 300 tonnes per month to support in-house manufacturing of auto components by the year of FY2026-27.”

Tycod Autotech is a profitable entity operating out of a large facility within the 200-acre Tata Vendor Park in Rudrapur, Pantnagar. The company currently manufactures engine components for Tata commercial vehicles and supplies to key OEM partners, including Tata Motors, Sundaram Fasteners and Interpump Group.

The acquired facility features a 90,000 sqft industrial shed and robust infrastructure, making it a ready-to-scale manufacturing base.

Since the takeover, Nupur Recyclers has scaled Tycod’s operations, which currently employ about 175 people. The synergy between the two companies is already evident in the supply chain. NRL is currently dispatching over 100 tonnes of aluminium alloy ingots monthly to the Tycod facility.

The company is setting aggressive expansion targets, aiming for 300 tonnes per month of alloy supply to support in-house manufacturing of auto components by the fiscal year 2026-27.

Daksh Maheshwari from Tycod Autotech, said, “Joining hands with Nupur Recyclers has accelerated our growth trajectory. With a reliable raw material supply and new investments in advanced machinery, we are now poised to become a leading Tier-1 supplier to OEMs.”
