India and the United Kingdom launched the India–UK Critical Minerals Global Supply Chain Observatory in New Delhi.
The Observatory is a joint initiative involving TEXMiN (Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation), Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, and the University of Cambridge.
It was developed under the India–UK Technology Security Initiative and aligns with the India–UK Vision 2035 roadmap.
The platform will track global critical mineral supply chains and identify risks, disruptions, and market trends.
It supports India’s National Critical Mineral Mission by ensuring secure access to minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements.
