Coming soon: A monster reserve to house critical minerals for rainy days
China’s critical mineral prowess is defined by its dominance as a producer, refiner and consumer, said Harsh V Pant, vice-president at thinktank Observer Research Foundation, and a strategic expert. “Crucially, work on this sector began in China decades ago. In comparison, India is working on a smaller base, and a strategic reserve of these minerals would give India more control, and make India less dependent on external forces. Over the last few years, we have seen how supply chain disruptions have adversely impacted this sector,” Pant said.
