The US-India Business Council launches an industry platform focused on strengthening resilience in critical minerals supply chains between the United States and India. The move comes as Washington and New Delhi work to lessen reliance on supply networks dominated by China, particularly for minerals considered important for industrial and strategic uses. The initiative is positioned as a step toward building alternative sourcing, manufacturing links, and longer-term capacity that can better withstand disruptions and geopolitical risks. Details on participating companies, timelines, and specific minerals are not provided in the available reports. The announcement reflects broader efforts by both governments and industry groups to diversify critical mineral inputs and reduce exposure to chokepoints in global supply chains. Overall, the platform is described as an industry-led mechanism intended to coordinate collaboration and support development of more dependable critical minerals pathways between the two countries.
