NEW DELHI, Mar 25: India is ramping up domestic production of rare earth permanent magnets, crucial for electronics, space, aerospace, defence and electric vehicles, with the first-ever Samarium Cobalt plant becoming operational in 2023, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Wednesday.
\nWhile admitting that over 80 per cent of these magnets are still imported due to limited domestic capacity, Singh, who is MoS Prime Minister\u2019s Office, highlighted significant strides made in the last 10-11 years through high prioritisation by the government.
\n\u201cOur present requirement of rare earth permanent magnet is 4,000 tonnes but by the time we reach 2030 and are able to produce 5,000 tonnes indigenously, our requirement would have gone up to 8,000 tonnes,\u201d Singh said.
\nHe outlined ambitious targets \u2014 500 tonnes per annum in the first phase, scaling to 2,000 tonnes by 2028 and 5,000 tonnes by 2030. \u201cPrime Minister Modi himself launched it (the Samarium Cobalt plant)\u2026 We have initiated processes and we are in the process of scaling up,\u201d the minister added, emphasising the need for further expansion to meet rising demand.
\nSingh noted there is \u201cno reason to deny but modestly admit\u201d the import reliance, but asserted that India has \u201cstarted in that direction\u201d.
\nRajasthan and Gujarat are among the states endowed with rock minerals, though extraction involves a cumbersome process with relatively modest yields. Efforts are underway to scale up production, and the process is expected to accelerate once the SHANTI Act comes into force.<\/p>\n
