Lithium is a metal that is widely used in batteries for portable electronics and electric vehicles, among other applications.
The government on Thursday, February 9, 2023, said lithium reserves have been found for the first time in the country in Jammu and Kashmir.
Lithium is a non-ferrous metal and is one of the key components in EV batteries.
Currently, India is import-dependent for many minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt.
