Government Plans Rs 2,800 Crore Capex Scheme for Critical Minerals
The Indian government is considering a new capital expenditure scheme worth Rs 2,800 crore to support critical mineral processing. The Union Cabinet will discuss this along with a viability gap funding (VGF) proposal for renewable energy grid-scale storage systems. This initiative aims to boost India's processing power and enhance self-reliance in critical minerals, complementing a separate Rs 14,500 crore scheme to add 92 GWh energy storage capacity.
