Lithium: Today, the Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) Act was amended with the approval of the Union Cabinet. This has made it possible for the commercial mining of lithium to proceed and for the auction of that mining to take place. A bill to update the Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) Act 1957 will be submitted during the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament. The mining of lithium will be made possible by this for private businesses as well. Those who are familiar with the situation have told them this information.
Soil digging will enhance the manufacture of electric vehicles, thus it would not be incorrect to assert that. The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act of 1957 has undergone changes that have been approved by the government. Lithium mining and other mineral extraction will be accelerated by this. In reality, lithium is widely used in the creation of EV batteries. The manufacturing of electric vehicles would increase if lithium reserves are located in India.
Lithium was found in J&K
A few days prior, it was announced that the lithium reserves discovered in this region’s Reasi district will be put up for auction by the Jammu and Kashmir state. For the first time in the nation, 59 lakh tonnes of lithium deposits have been discovered in Jammu and Kashmir, according to information released by the Central Government in February of this year. This lithium resource was discovered at the beginning of December of this year.
How will it help India?
Batteries for electric vehicles and mobile devices are both made of lithium. The government’s auction for lithium is a clear indication of how quickly the electronic industry is developing. Furthermore, it is anticipated to create job possibilities.
India still needs lithium from China. However, it can be believed that China’s monopoly will end with the finding of this reservoir in Jammu and Kashmir.
