The Ministry of Mines has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the International Energy Agency (IEA) to advance cooperation in critical minerals.
This agreement, recently approved by the Cabinet, will grant India access to IEA’s data, analysis, and policy recommendations, aiding in refining policies, regulations, and investment strategies to align with global standards.
The collaboration is expected to enhance India’s technical capabilities and institutional strength in the critical mineral sector, fostering capacity building and knowledge sharing with IEA member states.
The partnership includes joint research, workshops, and training programs aimed at promoting innovation in technology development, extraction techniques, and recycling methods.
