The Ministry of Mines, in partnership with the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (Shakti), the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), and the Indian Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD), will organize the “Critical Minerals Summit: Enhancing Beneficiation and Processing Capabilities” from April 29 to April 30, 2024, at the India Habitat Centre in Lodhi Estate, New Delhi.
The summit will gather a wide range of Indian and international stakeholders, including industry leaders, startups, government officials, scientists, academics, and policy experts. Attendees will engage in discussions and workshops on topics such as the progress of mineral auctions, policy incentives for CRM ecosystem development, and the pursuit of environmentally sustainable and commercially viable solutions.
Key sessions at the summit will focus on eight important minerals: Glauconite (Potash), Lithium, Rare Earth Elements (Laterite), Chromium, Platinum Group, Graphite, Tungsten associated with Graphite, Rare Earths (RE), and Vanadium associated with Graphite. These sessions will offer valuable opportunities for business-to-business collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The goal of the Critical Minerals Summit is to provide government and industry stakeholders with the knowledge, connections, and tools needed to boost domestic production of CRMs, supporting India’s economic growth and sustainability objectives.
