After J-K, further lithium resources were identified in Rajasthan
Due to its chemical and physical properties, lithium is an important component of modern batteries, especially electric vehicles (EVs) and electrical appliances.
lithium-based batteries have a low personal charge, which allows them to hold their charge for a long time when not in use, extending the entire life of the battery.
lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, allowing multiple charge times and discharges without losing capacity, increasing environmental safety and reducing long-term costs.
Lithium is important for batteries because of its high energy density, lightweight, low self-discharge rate, battery power, and recycling.
Lithium reserves are concentrated in South America’s lithium triangle – Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile – with 50% of resources concentrated in these areas.
