Rare earth minerals are important for green energy, such as wind power and electric vehicles.
China is the world's largest producer and exporter of rare earth minerals, and many countries import rare earths from China.
India used to import most of its rare earth minerals from China.
To reduce its dependence on China, India started doing three things: first, recycling rare earths from old products; second, importing from other countries like Kazakhstan; third, strengthening research and development to produce rare earths domestically.
India also cooperates with countries like Kazakhstan, hoping to have more sources of rare earth minerals.
In this way, India can develop green energy more securely and no longer rely only on China.
