No 1 source of global mining news and opinion
India is in talks with several countries seeking partnerships for technical help on lithium processing, said four sources familiar with the matter, to bolster its nascent lithium mining and electric vehicle industries and avoid relying on China.
The discussions illustrate efforts by India, the world’s third-largest carbon emitter and oil importer, to develop a lithium mining industry that could provide the chemical feedstocks for batteries for its domestic electric vehicle industry which could help cut its greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence.“India needs technology to process lithium and we are looking to collaborate with other countries which have some experience,” said the senior government official.
Companies including SoftBank-backed e-scooter maker Ola Electric, Shree Cement, state-run Coal India, miner Vedanta Ltd and Jindal Power are among those bidding for critical minerals blocks, which include lithium, with a shortlist expected by July.
