US EditionIndia Aims for Self-Reliance in Rare Earth Sector to Play a Leading Role in the Global Arena: Union MoS Jitendra Singh
- India is aggressively pursuing self-reliance in exploring and producing rare earth materials to support its green energy transition, as stated by Union MoS Science and Technology Jitendra Singh in the Lok Sabha.
- A pilot project on Neodymium-Iron-Boron Permanent Magnets has started in Hyderabad, and a Samarium Cobalt Magnet Plant launched in Visakhapatnam will produce 500 tonnes per year, indicating industrial progress in the rare earth sector.
- Production capacity of rare earth materials is expected to scale from 2,000 tonnes to 5,000 tonnes by the third phase, though demand may reach 8,000 tonnes by 2030, showing a production-demand gap.
- Rare earth elements are crucial for defense, electric vehicles, space exploration, and renewable energy, linking them to India's goals for clean energy, technology, and data needs.
