India's Strategic Push For Rare Earth Minerals: Securing Economic And Technological Future
Last Updated: The Modi government has positioned rare earth and critical minerals as strategic priorities, aligning domestic exploration with global partnerships to secure India's future Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India has launched a robust strategy to secure rare earth elements (REEs) and critical minerals, recognising their indispensable role in achieving the nation's economic, technological, and strategic ambitions. These minerals, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and neodymium, are vital for clean energy, electric vehicles (EVs), defence systems, and advanced electronics. As global demand surges and geopolitical tensions expose supply chain vulnerabilities—particularly China's dominance in rare earth processing—India's multifaceted approach, blending domestic extraction with international collaborations, is both timely and essential. Why Rare Earth Minerals Matter Rare earth elements are the backbone of India's aspirations under initiatives like Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) and its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2070. These minerals power EV batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, semiconductors, and defence equipment like radar and precision-guided missiles. With India targeting 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030 and aiming to become a global hub for manufacturing and innovation, securing a stable supply of critical minerals is crucial to reduce import dependence, enhance industrial competitiveness, and ensure strategic autonomy. Currently, India imports over 90 per cent of its rare earth requirements, with China controlling 85-95 per cent of global rare earth refining and magnet production. This dependency poses significant risks, as seen in China's 2010 export restrictions to Japan and its 2025 curbs on six heavy rare earth elements, which disrupted global supply chains and forced Indian automakers to cut production targets. By prioritising self-reliance in critical minerals, the Modi government seeks to mitigate these risks, redirect economic resources toward domestic development, and position India as a global player in the critical minerals market. Unlocking India's Mineral Wealth India holds the world's third-largest REE reserves, estimated at 6.9 million metric tons, primarily in monazite sands found in coastal and inland deposits across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Despite this, the country contributes only 0.7 per cent to global REE production due to geological, regulatory, and technological challenges. The Modi government has introduced transformative measures to boost domestic extraction and processing. The National Critical Minerals Mission (NCMM), with a budget of Rs 16,300 crore over seven years, drives exploration, processing, and recycling, with ongoing efforts at over 1,200 sites, as announced by Prime Minister Modi on August 15, 2025. Policy reforms, including the 2023 amendment to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, have opened REE exploration and mining to private players, previously restricted to state-owned enterprises, while streamlining regulatory hurdles, particularly for radioactive minerals under the Department of Atomic Energy. The Union Budget 2024-25 further reduced or eliminated customs duties on critical minerals to lower input costs and promote domestic manufacturing. Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL), under the Department of Atomic Energy, leads these efforts, achieving a record mineral production of 531,000 tonnes in FY 2023–24 and aiming to scale ore processing to 50 million tonnes per annum and triple rare earth oxide output to 13,000 tonnes by 2032. IREL's ₹197 crore Rare Earth Permanent Magnet facility in Visakhapatnam, with a capacity of 3,000 kg per year, positions India among the few nations with such capabilities. The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has intensified exploration, identifying significant REE anomalies in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. Investments in research and development, such as IREL's collaboration with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre for advanced magnet technologies and the Centre of Excellence at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad focusing on AI/ML-based exploration, are fostering innovation. Beyond mining, partnerships like the MoU between Hindustan Copper Limited and RITES aim to create an integrated domestic value chain, from exploration to manufacturing. The proposed National Rare Earth Innovation Hub seeks to link industry and academia for technology transfer, further strengthening the ecosystem. Diversifying Supply Chains Recognising the scarcity of heavy rare earth elements in India and the need to counter China's dominance, the Modi government has pursued strategic mineral diplomacy to secure global supply chains. During visits to Argentina and Brazil in 2025, Prime Minister Modi strengthened ties with the Lithium Triangle, a global hub for lithium reserves, with KhanijBidesh India Ltd (KABIL) forging exploration partnerships in Argentina to secure lithium for India's EV and battery industries. In June 2025, agreements with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan during the 4th India–Central Asia Dialogue opened avenues for joint exploration and development of rare earths and critical minerals, diversifying supply sources and deepening geopolitical ties. Discussions with Russia under the India-Russia Working Group on Modernization and Industrial Cooperation in August 2025 explored collaboration in rare earth extraction, alongside other industrial advancements. PM Modi's visit to Namibia highlighted potential partnerships in lithium, cobalt, uranium, and rare earth elements to streamline supply routes for green technologies. India is also engaging with Japan and South Korea, with IREL negotiating with Japan's Toyotsu Rare Earths India and exploring partnerships for rare earth magnet production to reduce reliance on China. In June 2025, India suspended an REE export agreement with Japan to prioritize domestic needs. Collaborations with Australia and the US, leveraging their mineral wealth and technological expertise, align with India's Quad framework for flexible security and resource cooperation. While diversifying, India continues pragmatic engagement with China to ensure uninterrupted access to rare earth materials, balancing strategic autonomy with trade realities. Economic and Strategic Implications The Modi government's focus on critical minerals reflects their role as geopolitical levers, not just commodities. By reducing import reliance, India aims to redirect economic resources toward youth empowerment, poverty alleviation, and rural development. A robust domestic mineral ecosystem will enhance export competitiveness in EVs and renewable energy technologies, supporting India's goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. Strategically, these efforts address national security concerns, as China's past use of mineral export restrictions as a diplomatic tool underscores the risks of dependency. Resilient supply chains ensure the availability of critical inputs for defence systems and high-tech industries, safeguarding India's sovereignty in a resource-constrained world. Challenges and the Road Ahead Despite swift recent progress, challenges persist. India's treasured minerals, while abundant, are low in purity, increasing extraction costs. Regulatory hurdles for radioactive minerals and limited midstream infrastructure for alloy production and magnet fabrication remain obstacles. The Confederation of Indian Industry emphasises the need for long-term, product-led strategies and government–industry collaboration, drawing lessons from India's semiconductor mission. The government is exploring fiscal incentives, viability gap funding, and dedicated industrial zones to address these issues. The proposed Magnet Ecosystem Coordination Cell under NITI Aayog or DPIIT aims to streamline efforts, while India draws inspiration from Japan's decade-long journey to achieve 40 per cent value addition in REEs, adopting a phased, ecosystem-driven approach. Prime Minister Modi's government has positioned rare earth and critical minerals as strategic priorities, aligning domestic exploration with global partnerships to secure India's technological and economic future. Through the National Critical Minerals Mission, policy reforms, and collaborations with countries like Argentina, Central Asia, Russia, and Namibia, India is reducing dependence on China and building resilient supply chains. top videos View all These efforts are vital for achieving self-reliance, powering clean energy transitions, and positioning India as a global leader in the critical minerals race. As PM Modi stated, 'The technologies of the 21st century—clean energy, electric mobility, digital transformation—all depend on critical minerals.

Steel firms hail govt for recommending safeguard duty on flat steel imports
The domestic steel industry has welcomed the commerce ministry's move to recommend imposition of a safeguard duty on imports of certain flat steel products, saying that such measures help India become self-reliant in the sector. In a statement, Naveen Jindal, President of Indian Steel Association (ISA), said recommendation of a safeguard duty on flat steel imports for three years is a welcome step. "While the proposed 12 per cent duty may not fully reflect the geopolitical context where 25 per cent is often considered the norm, it demonstrates clear government support for using such measures to promote Aatmanirbhar Bharat in steel," he said. Jindal, who is also the chairman of Jindal Steel, said introducing a safety net through minimum import prices, below which the recommended duty would be triggered, is also a positive move to protect and support the downstream industry. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), under the Ministry of Commerce, has recommended final imposition of a safeguard duty on imports of certain flat steel products for three years to protect domestic manufacturers from sudden jump in the inbound shipments. DGTR is the apex authority for administering all trade remedial measures, including anti-dumping, countervailing duties and safeguard measures. The duty was recommended by the DGTR in its final findings of a probe initiated on a complaint by the Indian Steel Association. Based on the preliminary findings, the government in April has already imposed a provisional 12 per cent safeguard duty for 200 days. Now in its final findings, the DGTR has concluded "that there is a recent, sudden, sharp and significant increase in imports of PUC (product under consideration) into India at the cumulative level as a result of unforeseen threaten to cause serious injury to the domestic industry/producers," the DGTR has said in a notification. It has recommended a 12 per cent duty in the first year, 11.5 per cent in the second, and 11 per cent in the third year. The Indian Steel Association on behalf of its members including ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, JSW Steel, Jindal Steel and Power and Steel Authority of India filed an application seeking imposition of safeguard duty on imports of non-alloy and alloy steel flat products.
