The US will extend a formal invite to India next month to join Pax Silica, its coalition to de-risk the rare-earths→semiconductor→AI supply chain. New US envoy Sergio Gor flagged the move in New Delhi, positioning India’s entry alongside talks on critical minerals and tech cooperation. Pax Silica already includes allies like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the UK, Israel, UAE and Australia, and is adding West Asian partners; India’s inclusion would align with its magnet/semiconductor push and efforts to diversify away from China-centric inputs.
