Good move by GoI.
More of this please.
I like this guy. Put him in charge of more things.
The other huge advantage for India - Japan is a leader in green REE separation and recycling tech. India doesn't need to destroy its environment the way China did.
Japan company to set up rare earths magnet unit in Andhra Pradesh
Japan's Proterial will invest ₹2,250 crore to build a rare earth magnet plant in Andhra Pradesh. This facility will produce vital components for electric vehicles and wind turbines. The move aims to boost India's local rare earth value chain. It also reduces dependence on Chinese sources. This...economictimes.indiatimes.com
Japan's Proterial, a global leader in advanced materials, will set up a rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of ₹2,250 crore, marking a key step toward building India's local rare earth value chain and reducing its reliance on Chinese sources, said people with knowledge of the matter.
The project, to be located at Achutapuram in Anakapalli district, will manufacture 1.2 kilo tonnes per annum (ktpa) of sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets, among the most critical components used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, industrial motors, electronics, aerospace and defence systems. The State Investment Promotion Committee approved the project at its meeting last week.
The proposed investment comes at a time when India is actively seeking to reduce dependence on imported rare earth magnets and build indigenous manufacturing capabilities in strategic sectors.
The Centre recently approved a dedicated incentive programme to encourage domestic production of sintered rare earth permanent magnets, underscoring the national importance of the sector.
The company didn't respond to queries.
Proterial, formerly Hitachi Metals, is regarded as one of the global pioneers of NdFeB magnet technology and remains a leading supplier of advanced magnetic materials worldwide. The Japanese company posted consolidated revenue of ₹45,000 crore last year and operates in North America, Europe, China and Asia."

This project will promote hREE resource recycling and resource securing in a government-led manner in Japan. It will be helpful for stabilization materials industry in Japan, increasing independency from specific countries and reduce future supply risks of hREE.

No way lol, they prolly imported it rather than directly dealing with said company.
Canadian climate technology developer Enervoxa plans talks with India's Vedanta, Hindalco Industries (HALC.NS), opens new tab and state-run NALCO as it looks to set up a processing plant in the country to extract rare earths from a waste byproduct of aluminium production.
A commercial-scale plant would cost around $250 million to $350 million and could be financed through a combination of strategic equity and project financing, Enervoxa Chief Executive Vandit Verma told Reuters. The company is looking at potential locations in eastern India for the project, he said.
Recovering rare earth concentrates from bauxite residue — a byproduct of aluminium production known as red mud — is a relatively new commercial application that has gained momentum amid growing geopolitical concerns over China's dominance of rare earth processing.
India holds substantial rare earth reserves but lacks industrial-scale facilities capable of processing the minerals to high purity levels. The country is also the world's second-largest aluminium producer and its third-biggest consumer.
Enervoxa has spent eight years developing its own process to recover rare earths from red mud, Verma said in an interview on Wednesday.
In addition to aluminium producers, Enervoxa plans to approach engineering companies, steel manufacturers and critical minerals processing companies to develop an integrated value chain for the products recoverable from red mud, which also include iron oxide, coagulants, pigments and titanium-bearing materials.
The company also plans to seek Indian government assistance, Verma said.
India's Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre, along with other stakeholders under government think tank NITI Aayog, is conducting research into metal extraction and rare earth element enrichment from red mud, the government said last year.
Enervoxa's project could involve either full processing of red mud within India or production of a rare earth concentrate for refining at a dedicated downstream facility, Verma said.
The company is currently focused on evaluating commercial opportunities with companies in India, North America, Southeast Asia and other alumina-producing regions, he said.
