Welcome to Inland Speciality Metals
Inland Speciality Metals Pvt. Ltd. (ISMPL) is a forward-looking enterprise committed to advancing India’s self-reliance in critical metals under the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. Incorporated in 2020 by visionary promoters Mr. Naveen Somani and Mr. Manish Mohta, ISMPL is setting up a state-of-the-art facility in Birkoni, Chhattisgarh to produce high-purity Cobalt Metal and Cobalt Sulphate, alongside valuable by-products like Copper, Nickel, and specialty sulphates.
Our 10.23-acre integrated plant will process imported Cobalt Hydroxide Concentrate using advanced Hydro-Metallurgical technology, guided by industry veteran Mr. Hari Krishna Mohta, who brings over 45 years of global metallurgical experience.
About Cobalt
Cobalt is a chemical element with the symbol Co and atomic number 27. It is always found in chemically combined form. Cobalt: a rare, hard, metallic element – has soared over recent years. The metal has become a key material in an extensive range of applications, everything from magnets to paints to chemical catalysts…
Our Mission & Vision
Our vision is to establish Inland Speciality Metals Pvt. Ltd. as India’s most trusted and pioneering producer of high-purity cobalt products, setting new benchmarks for quality, reliability, and innovation. We aim to contribute significantly to the nation’s journey toward self-reliance in critical raw materials by reducing dependence on imports and creating a robust domestic supply chain.
We aspire to play a vital role in transforming the future of mobility through electric vehicles, by supplying cobalt for advanced lithium-ion batteries that drive cleaner, more sustainable transportation. At the same time, our products will empower aerospace and defence industries, where cobalt is indispensable in the development of superalloys, precision components, space exploration technologies, and national security applications.
By combining world-class technology, deep technical expertise, and sustainable practices, we are committed to supporting industries that shape the modern world — from high-speed electronics and renewable energy storage to next-generation engineering solutions. Our vision is not just to lead in cobalt manufacturing but to become a catalyst of innovation, sustainability, and strategic growth for India and beyond.
Our Products
Cobalt occurs typically in nature in cobaltite, smaltite, and erythrite minerals. It is mined along with nickel, silver, lead, copper, and iron ore and is often obtained as a by-product.
About Nickel
Nickel is a critical metal widely used in EV batteries to enhance energy density and performance, making electric mobility more efficient. Its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability make it indispensable in aerospace, defence, and superalloys, while its conductivity and durability support advancements in electronics and precision engineering.
Cobalt Sulphate
Cobalt Sulphate is a vital ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, powering the global shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Its applications also extend to aerospace, defence, superalloys, and advanced electronics, where it ensures strength, stability, and high performance in critical technologies.
Sodium Sulphate
Sodium Sulphate is widely used in detergents, glass, and specialty chemicals, and also finds relevance in battery electrolytes, ceramics, and electronic applications. Its versatility supports industries ranging from advanced materials to defence and aerospace, making it a valuable by-product of our cobalt production process.
