NITI Aayog Calls for Reforms to Boost India's Mineral Exploration and Metals Exports
NITI Aayog's Trade Watch Quarterly report highlights India's limited share in the global metals and ores market, with exports accounting for about 1.8-2.1% of global demand in 2025. The report calls for improved access to geological data, increased private exploration, streamlined approvals, and regulatory reforms to boost mineral discovery and trade competitiveness. It emphasizes promoting domestic production of specialized alloys, enhancing battery recycling, and preparing for the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The report also notes India's export concentration in iron, steel, and aluminium, urging diversification into high-value non-ferrous metals.
