Lithium Discovery

In the United States, only one per cent of global lithium is being mined and processed, according to US Geological Survey.

Almost 26 years ago, the Geological Survey of India submitted a detailed report about the presence of lithium in the same area, in Jammu and Kashmir's Salal. But there seems to have been no meaningful follow-up until now.

The country's first lithium reserve, found in Jammu and Kashmir, is of the best quality, a senior government official said here on Saturday, as upbeat villagers expressed hope the discovery will bring them a bright future.

India is looking for ways to get more lithium to push its EV policy forward. This discovery will help in it.
