Months after India found its first ever lithium reserve in Jammu and Kashmir, another reserve of the crucial mineral has been found in Rajasthan's Degana (Nagaur).
The new lithium reserve is much bigger than the one found in Jammu and Kashmir.
Lithium reserves in Rajasthan have been found in the same Renvat hill of Degana and its surrounding area, from where Tungsten mineral was once supplied to the country.
During the British rule, the British had discovered Tungsten mineral in the year 1914 on the hill of Renwat in Degana.
GSI and mining officials have claimed that the amount of Lithium present in these reserves can satisfy 80 percent of India's total demand.
The discovery of these reserves may help in reducing the dependency of India on China for Lithium.
Lithium is a non-ferrous metal, which is used to make mobile-laptop, electric vehicle and other chargeable batteries.
Due to the global demand, it is also called White Gold. The global value of one ton of Lithium is around Rs 57.36 lakh.
