Vedanta Considers Entry into Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Manufacturing Amid Government Scheme

Vedanta is considering entering the rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing sector, specifically evaluating neodymium magnet production, following government encouragement for private participation. The Union Cabinet approved the Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Scheme in November, allocating ₹7,280 crore to develop 6,000 metric tonnes per annum of integrated manufacturing capacity. This initiative aims to enhance India's self-reliance in producing critical magnets used in electric vehicles, renewable energy, electronics, aerospace, and defense.
