Unlocking India's Critical Minerals Potential
Key discussions at the summit revolve around identifying and harnessing India's vast mineral reserves, such as rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt, and nickel, crucial for the manufacturing of batteries, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles. Emphasising the significance of these minerals in powering India's transition towards a greener and more resilient economy, the summit aims to catalyse collaborative efforts in exploration, extraction, processing, and recycling.
The initiative aligns with the government's broader vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India), emphasising the need for strategic autonomy in critical sectors. By fostering a conducive policy environment, promoting research and development, and facilitating public-private partnerships, the Ministry of Mines seeks to unleash the untapped potential of India's mineral wealth, paving the way for economic growth, job creation, and technological advancement.
As India embarks on this journey towards mineral security, keywords such as resource sovereignty, sustainable mining, value addition, technology transfer, and circular economy underscore the multifaceted approach envisioned by the Critical Minerals Summit. With a commitment to harnessing indigenous capabilities and fostering global partnerships, India is poised to emerge as a key player in the global critical minerals landscape, driving innovation and prosperity for generations to come.
