India has entered high-level talks in Washington on securing critical-mineral supply chains, joining a US-hosted meeting alongside G7 finance ministers and invitees like Australia. IT & Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is attending as the US rallies partners to reduce reliance on China, which dominates refining of lithium, cobalt and rare earths.
The agenda includes new partnerships, financing and potential market measures to build non-China capacity, part of a broader US strategy that has recently pulled more countries into minerals coordination.
