New Delhi, April 9 -- India is set to introduce incentives later this year aimed at boosting the recycling of 24 critical minerals, including lithium and cobalt.

These efforts are part of the country's strategy to secure the essential materials needed for its transition to clean energy.

The 24 minerals, identified as critical for India's clean energy goals and net-zero emissions target by 2070, will receive financial backing through incentives.

The government has already earmarked Rs 1,500 crore for recycling these minerals, as part of a broader Rs 16,300 crore initiative to develop the sector.

These incentives could include subsidies on capital expenditure or production-linked benefits, according to sources familiar with the plan.
