India’s Rare Earth Strategy: Manufacturing, Corridors, and Global Integration

• Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMs) are high-performance magnets indispensable for EVs, wind turbines, electronics, aerospace and defence.

• Examinable as a confluence of critical mineral security, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Budget 2026-27, and global supply-chain de-risking (post China export curbs).
