KABIL and CSIR IMMT Collaborate

15 Apr 2024 CW Team

Under this MoU, both entities aim to facilitate the exploration, mining, and processing of critical minerals within India and globally. By leveraging CSIR-IMMT's expertise in mineral exploration, beneficiation, and metallurgical processing, alongside KABIL's robust network and market insights, the partnership aims to address the growing demand for critical minerals sustainably.

The critical minerals sector plays a pivotal role in powering modern technologies and infrastructure, from lithium for batteries to rare earth elements for electronics. However, the global supply chain for these minerals faces challenges such as geopolitical tensions, supply disruptions, and environmental concerns. By collaborating, KABIL and CSIR-IMMT seek to mitigate these risks and strengthen India's self-reliance in sourcing essential minerals.

Furthermore, this partnership aligns with India's renewable energy goals and initiatives such as the National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage. Access to a stable and diversified supply of critical minerals is essential for scaling up renewable energy projects and transitioning towards a low-carbon economy.

The collaboration between KABIL and CSIR-IMMT is expected to foster innovation and technology development in the critical minerals sector. Through joint research and development efforts, the partners aim to enhance mineral processing techniques, improve resource efficiency, and promote sustainable mining practices.

Moreover, the MoU signifies a commitment to fostering synergy between industry and research institutions for the benefit of the nation's economic growth and technological advancement. By pooling their resources and expertise, KABIL and CSIR-IMMT aim to create a conducive environment for investment, innovation, and sustainable development in the critical minerals sector.
