CSIR-IMMT Partners with EIL and LOHUM for Critical Minerals Technology Advancement
CSIR-IMMT has signed MoUs with Engineers India Limited and LOHUM to enhance indigenous technologies for critical minerals. This initiative is essential for India's self-reliance in sectors like electric mobility and renewable energy.

CSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (CSIR-IMMT) has established partnerships with Engineers India Limited (EIL) and LOHUM to enhance the development and industrial implementation of critical mineral technologies. The MoUs focus on engineering pathways for scaling up laboratory-developed processes for extraction, refining, and recycling of critical minerals, particularly rare earth elements.
EIL will collaborate on research and development initiatives, while LOHUM will contribute its expertise in battery materials for the production of high-performance permanent magnets. These collaborations align with the Government of India’s initiatives for strengthening domestic capabilities in critical minerals, reducing import dependence, and supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The potential impact on India's strategic mineral value chain could lead to significant advancements in self-reliance and sustainability in technology sectors.
