I found mogrify quite useful in converting icons to multilayered ICO format from SVG images. This command batch converts all SVG images from selected folder and converts those to multilayered ICO format.

mogrify -path ../PathToFolder/ -format ico -density 600 -define icon:auto-resize=128,64,48,32,16 *.svg
