India Advances Critical Minerals Acquisition Through Overseas Partnerships and Domestic Auctions
India is accelerating efforts to secure critical minerals both domestically and internationally. Private firms like Adani Group are partnering with foreign entities such as Chile's Codelco to explore copper projects, addressing rising demand for minerals vital to energy transition and electric vehicle production. Concurrently, India has auctioned nearly half of its active mineral blocks since 2015, with a significant increase in auctions over the past two years to boost domestic mining and reduce import reliance. The government is coordinating with states to address land and environmental challenges to facilitate mining activity.
