RHI Magnesita & Khemka Refractories Form Joint Venture to
Accelerate Circular Economy and Set Up Greenfield Facility in
Odisha, India
Collaboration combines global recycling expertise and regional manufacturing strength to advance circular
economy goals and create a scalable recycling ecosystem
Gurugram, Haryana, June 25, 2026: RHI Magnesita, the leading manufacturer and supplier of high-grade
refractory products, systems and solutions, has announced to enter into a strategic joint venture (JV) with
Khemka Refractories Pvt. Ltd., a renowned refractory raw-materials manufacturer in India. Together the
companies will accelerate circular business models and establish a greenfield refractory recycling facility in
the eastern state of Odisha, India. Strategically located in the heart of India's steel production and close to
major Industrial manufacturers, the proposed facility will support the rapidly growing demand for closed-
loop sustainable solutions in the Indian refractory market by creating an integrated recycling supply chain.
The joint venture will focus on the recovery, processing and reuse of spent refractory materials, increase
the availability of high-value raw materials for refractories and other markets and provide customers with
customized recycling and enhanced sustainability solutions.
The partnership represents a significant step towards contributing and advancing circular economy and
CO reduction goals. By creating a scalable, technologically advanced refractory recycling platform, the JV
aims to reduce dependence on virgin raw materials required for refractory manufacturing, improve resource
efficiency, and contribute to lower carbon emissions across industrial value chains.
Parmod Sagar, Chairman, MD & CEO, RHI Magnesita India Ltd., said, “India is one of the world’s fastest-
growing industrial markets, and as the market leader in refractories, RHI Magnesita is committed to
deepening its technological investment in the country. We believe the time is right to build an ethically
compliant circular economy platform that brings trust, quality, innovation, consistency and scale to raw
materials management for refractories and other industrial markets. Through this green-field joint venture,
we are laying the foundation for a circular economy platform with globally leading processing technology
and best-in class infrastructure. We will advance circularity, avoid waste and create long-term supply
security and superior value for our customers in line with our 4PRO Solutions proposition. A closed material
cycle is essential for sustainable business and the responsible use of valuable resources benefiting all
stakeholders.”
Alok Khemka, Director, Khemka Refractories Pvt. Ltd., said “We are delighted to partner with RHI
Magnesita in this pioneering initiative for the Indian refractory market. With our operational capabilities,
strategic location in Odisha and well-established supply and partner network, we are well-positioned to
support the development of a robust recycling platform. Together, we aim to focus on scaling operations,
process depth and quality consistency in the Indian recycling market while ensuring secure access to critical
secondary raw materials.”
The proposed Odisha facility will combine RHI Magnesita's global expertise in refractory recycling and
Khemka Refractories' long-standing regional presence and supplier network. The facility is expected to play
a critical role in strengthening supply chain resilience, supporting sustainable industrial growth and
accelerating the transition towards a circular economy in India.
Under the agreement, RHI Magnesita will hold a 51% stake in the joint venture, with Khemka Refractories
holding the remaining 49%. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to
close in the third quarter of 2026.
