Navprakriti is set to invest Rs. 100 crore to establish a critical minerals processing facility in Odisha, aligning with India’s strategic focus on securing supply chains for essential raw materials.

Critical minerals are key inputs for sectors such as electronics, renewable energy, and electric mobility, making domestic processing capacity increasingly important.

The project is expected to support value addition within the country while contributing to industrial growth in the region.

Such initiatives are crucial for reducing reliance on imports of strategically important materials.

The facility could also position Odisha as a hub for critical minerals processing in eastern India.
