Strategicmetals
The document discusses India's strategic minerals like thorium and titanium contained in monazite and ilmenite sands. It notes India's large thorium reserves and their importance for India's nuclear program and energy independence. However, the privatization of mining in 2002 has led to the looting of these strategic minerals for export rather than being used domestically. There is a need to establish a regulatory authority and reserve these minerals for India's strategic development.
