DelhiDesk India’s dependence on China for lithium, a key component in mobile-laptop, electric vehicles, and other chargeable batteries, is expected to reduce significantly with the discovery of a second lithium reserve in Rajasthan’s Degana town. India has been reliant on expensive foreign supplies and imported lithium worth more than INR 6,000 crore in 2020-21, with more than INR 3,500 crore-worth bought from China. The newly-discovered reserve in Rajasthan is believed to have a higher capacity than the one found in Jammu and Kashmir earlier this year, and around 80% of India’s total demand for lithium can be met from Rajasthan’s deposits. The metal is widely used to manufacture wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, making it a sought-after asset for countries undergoing a dynamic shift in energy transformation.
