Chile, which is in the decisive leg of negotiations for CEPA with India, is providing India with major mining opportunities in critical minerals - copper, lithium and cobalt - that would power India's growth, semiconductor industry and green transition. Chile possesses over 20% of the world's copper reserves, 30% of global lithium reserves (the world's second-largest producer) and a substantial amount of cobalt, offering significant opportunities for Indian companies looking to secure access to these minerals through greenfield and brownfield mining projects.
