India's Critical Minerals Solution Lies Nearby

11 Jun 2024 CW Team

India's pursuit of critical minerals crucial for renewable energy and technology sectors may pivot towards its extended neighbourhood, addressing growing concerns over global supply chain vulnerabilities. As the world grapples with mineral scarcity and geopolitical tensions, India seeks to secure key resources essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and advanced technology manufacturing.

The strategic move aligns with India's ambitions to reduce dependency on imports, particularly from countries facing political instability or trade uncertainties. Enhancing regional partnerships and exploring potential mineral deposits in neighbouring nations could bolster India's resource security and economic resilience.

Recent initiatives underscore this shift, with Indian firms actively engaging in exploration projects and strategic collaborations across South Asia and beyond. Such efforts aim not only to diversify mineral sourcing but also to strengthen regional economic integration and geopolitical stability.

India's approach signals a broader strategy to safeguard its energy transition goals and technological advancements. By harnessing resources closer to home, India aims to mitigate risks associated with distant and sometimes volatile supply chains. This proactive stance not only supports domestic industrial growth but also positions India as a key player in the global renewable energy landscape.

In conclusion, India's pursuit of critical minerals in its extended neighbourhood marks a strategic response to global uncertainties, fostering regional cooperation while enhancing its own economic and energy security in the process.
