With the discovery of a sizable lithium resource in Nayagarh, odisha has the potential to act as a focal point for the indian electric vehicle (EV) movement. Geoscientists have been excited by the finding of a massive lithium resource near Nayagarh, Odisha.
The Geological survey of india (GSI) made this finding, which is thought to increase EV battery output and lessen India's reliance on imports. Drones and artificial intelligence are being utilized to conduct more research.
According to geological survey reports, the odisha district of Nayagarh contains rich lithium deposits.
Lithium deposits in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi area were certified by the Geological survey of india (GSI) earlier in february 2023.
Because of its color, lithium is known as "white gold."
Chinese monopoly
At the moment, china is the only country producing lithium batteries. In terms of lithium storage, Bolivia, Argentina, the United States, Chile, Australia, and china are ahead of India. The presence of precious lithium has been confirmed by the Geological survey of india (GSI).
The results coincide with the federal government's focus on crucial resource development to increase the country's independence in a number of areas. Drones and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used by GSI to investigate significant mineral deposits including copper and lithium.
In the Mayurbhanj area, which is already home to several important minerals, a trial project has been initiated. The government also intends to carry out a mining survey in southern odisha following Mayurbhanj. The districts of Kandhamal and Malkangiri are included. The finding of lithium in Nayagarh by the Geological survey of india (GSI) has sparked optimism that local manufacturing of electric vehicle (EV) batteries in india would increase.
The nation's mining capital is Odisha.
L. Kantha Rao, Secretary, the Ministry of Mines, commented on Odisha's mining, saying the state has solidified its status as India's mining capital by providing about half of the nation's minerals. In addition to lithium, gold deposits have reportedly been found in several odisha districts, including Deogarh, Keonjhar, and Mayurbhanj. These minerals have been explored by the Geological survey of india (GSI). In the meantime, the Geological survey of india (GSI) has started its preparation meeting in Bhubaneswar, laying the groundwork for the mining ministers' summit that will take place in Konark in two days.
