India and the United States signed an agreement aimed at bolstering the critical mineral supply chain in response to concerns over China's dominance in this sector. The agreement seeks to leverage the complementary strengths of both countries to enhance resilience in sourcing critical minerals, which are vital for modern technologies such as electric vehicles, solar panels, and semiconductor manufacturing. Given the growing reliance on these minerals and the restrictions imposed by China on key exports, this partnership is essential for ensuring a stable supply chain and advancing clean technology initiatives in both nations.
