India Expedites Critical Minerals Exploration Projects

On March 26, 2026, the Indian government directed states to speed up critical-mineral exploration, shorten exploration-to-auction timelines and improve coordination to bolster supply chains. Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy urged adoption of AI, machine learning, drone surveys and modern beneficiation; the Centre said 76 exploration projects were sanctioned in 2025–26 and 45 NMEDT-funded blocks, including 10 critical-mineral blocks, have been auctioned.
