(Reuters) – (This April 10 story has been corrected to remove erroneous references to lithium and nickel in the headline)
India is in ​the advanced stages ​of framing a policy ⁠for processing critical ​minerals and has ​shortlisted two such minerals critical for electric vehicles, ​mines secretary Piyush ​Goyal said on Friday.
Reuters in ‌January ⁠had reported that India was planning to roll out incentives ​for ​companies ⁠to set up lithium and ​nickel processing ​plants, ⁠aiming to reduce reliance on imports and ⁠build ​local refining ​capacity.
