India Intensifies Global Push for Rare Earth Security

India is working hard to make sure it has enough special minerals called rare earths.

These minerals are used in important things like phones, cars, and renewable energy.

China controls a lot of these minerals, so India is talking to other countries and joining groups to get its own supply.

They are talking to countries like Brazil and using groups led by the US to help secure these resources.

India also has a lot of these minerals in its own land, and is working to find even more.
