<h1>Critical mineral supply-chain resilience for rare earths: India and partners push diversification and targeted investment to bolster manufacturing</h1> India's commitment to strengthen and secure critical mineral supply chains introduces a policy prescription to prioritize supply-chain resilience for critical minerals (notably rare earths), the operative effect being enhanced robustness of domestic manufacturing and electronics sectors and support for national development objectives. The multilateral ministerial emphasis on diversifying and 'prudently de-risking' highly concentrated critical-minerals supply chains constitutes an international policy coordination directive, the operative effect being a collective move toward targeted investments, supply-chain diversification measures, and cooperative actions to reduce vulnerability to disruption or manipulation while avoiding wholesale decoupling.
