Rajasthan has become the first Indian state to issue an exploration licence for a rare earth elements (REE) block under the country's new exploration licensing framework for critical minerals. The licence covers a block spanning the Balotra and Jodhpur districts, where geological surveys have identified potential REE resources. The move marks a milestone in India's efforts to accelerate domestic critical mineral exploration, strengthen supply chain security and reduce reliance on imported rare earth materials.
