Niti seeks exploration, regulatory reforms to boost metals and ores trade
Niti Aayog has suggested more mineral exploration and simpler rules to grow India's metals and ores trade. It points to two worries: India depends heavily on imported critical minerals, and our exporters face the European Union's carbon border levy. This matters if you sell metals or ores abroad, or buy these raw materials. Watch for policy changes and review your import and export costs.
