New Delhi, July 4, 2025 (ANI): Australian High Commissioner to India, Philip Green, expressed commitment to easing the supply chain of critical minerals especially lithium into India. He said “Australia is a very large producer of critical minerals. In fact, we produce more than 50 per cent of the world's lithium, and when I go around your country, I see many firms with great plans to build electric vehicles and batteries. I would work to make sure that there is an easier supply chain of Australian critical minerals, and especially lithium, into India. So this is one aspect of what the Quad is trying to do to make sure that high-quality supplies of important battery minerals are available to countries like India, which have a very bright future in the green energy supply chain."

00:00Australia and India are building a much deeper partnership and at the core of that is the fact
00:04that we are now strategic partners. I want to work to make sure that there is a easier supply
00:10chain of Australian critical minerals and especially lithium into India. Australia and
00:16India are building a much deeper partnership and at the core of that is the fact that we are now
00:21strategic partners. We're separated only by an ocean and so it makes sense that when we're
00:27talking about our defence and security engagement we talk about the marine domain and that's why
00:33this effort to understand better surveillance of the oceans is a key area for Australia and
00:40India to work on. I'm very confident this will be one of many new interventions that we're making
00:46in the defence and security area in the years going forward.
00:49Well let me talk about the Australian part of that because Australia is a very large producer
01:05of critical minerals. We are in fact we produce more than 50 percent of the world's lithium and
01:11when I go around your country and I see many firms with great plans to build electric vehicles and to
01:18build batteries I want to work to make sure that there is a easier supply chain of Australian critical
01:25minerals and especially lithium into India. So this is what this is one aspect of what the Quad is
01:32trying to do to make sure that high quality supplies of important battery minerals are available
01:37to countries like India which have a very bright future in the green energy supply chain.
