💨 Abstract

India has removed customs duty on waste and scrap of a dozen critical minerals, including antimony, cobalt, tungsten, and copper scrap, to aid their availability for manufacturing within the country. The government also plans to launch a policy for recovering critical minerals from mining waste and by-products. This move comes after India approved 163 billion rupees to develop its critical minerals sector, aiming to secure raw materials such as lithium.
