Recent findings of lithium (white gold) reserve in Reasi
district of Jammu & Kashmir is going to be the milestone for India in
achieving the net zero emission target by 2070.
As lithium-ion batteries are the new energy restoring mechanism being
used specially in electric vehicles (EV’s), it will boost clean energy with zero emissions.
The emissions through petrol/diesel vehicles will reduce in large quantity with
reduction in manufacturing cost of electric vehicles. Lithium-ion is the major component
used in these types of vehicles, the cost of which will reduce due to this discovery
and will make these vehicles available at low price.
Another benefit of this discovery will be in the form of
reducing import bills as major portion of lithium resource is imported from
Australia, South America and China for producing Personal Digital Assistance (
PDA’s), laptops, iPods, pacemakers, mobile phones and toys.
