Mining Matters Episode 3: Underlining the Critical Role of Critical Minerals

‘Mining Matters’ is a part of the ‘In Dialogue’ series, hosted by the Non-Fuel Minerals and Mining research team led by Rajesh Chadha at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress, New Delhi. We invite experts from India and abroad to discuss how India’s mining sector can catalyse economic growth and development, ensuring fair and sustainable mining practices for the environment and affected communities.

In the third episode of Mining Matters, “Underlining the Critical Role of Critical Minerals”, Ranjan Mathai, Former Foreign Secretary of India, joins Ganesh Sivamani to discuss what India must do to secure its domestic and international supply chains of ‘critical minerals’. These are the raw materials required in manufacturing, particularly the green technologies needed to meet the country’s climate change mitigation goals.
