New Delhi: The government plans to set up four dedicated critical minerals processing parks across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha to fast-track value addition for key battery materials, a top official said on Thursday.
The parks will focus on creating element-specific ecosystems, with individual facilities designed to specialise in critical minerals such as lithium and nickel, two raw materials being prioritised for the battery sector, while downstream processing for the remaining critical minerals will follow, Mines Secretary Keshav Chandra said.
