India Urged to Reduce Dependence on China for Critical Minerals

The Economic Survey 2024 has emphasized the urgent need for India to address its heavy reliance on China for critical minerals. The survey highlights the potential risks associated with this dependency and underscores the importance of diversifying the mineral supply chain to enhance national security and economic resilience.

China's dominance in the global supply of critical minerals poses a significant challenge for India, impacting various sectors including energy, technology, and infrastructure. The survey suggests that reducing this reliance is crucial for safeguarding India's strategic interests and ensuring the stability of its industrial and energy sectors.

To mitigate these risks, the Economic Survey advocates for the development of alternative supply sources and the strengthening of domestic mineral production capabilities. This includes investing in exploration and mining technologies, forming strategic partnerships with other mineral-rich countries, and implementing policies to boost domestic mineral reserves.

By focusing on these strategies, India aims to achieve greater self-sufficiency in critical minerals, reduce vulnerabilities, and support long-term economic growth. Addressing the dependence on China for these essential resources will play a key role in strengthening India's economic security and resilience in the face of global supply chain disruptions.
