India Encourages Private Sector to Secure Critical Minerals Abroad Amid BRICS Discussions
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy emphasized the importance of India's private sector securing critical minerals abroad to reduce import dependence and support domestic industries. The government is facilitating this through diplomatic channels, appointing mineral officers in embassies, and encouraging private companies to acquire and process mineral assets overseas. Critical minerals are vital for technologies ranging from cell phones to space equipment. Discussions on these minerals are also a key agenda at the upcoming BRICS Summit, with ongoing talks involving countries like Argentina, Australia, and Chile.
