In a strategic move aimed at ensuring India’s self-sufficiency in crucial minerals, which are vital for defence, aerospace, and battery storage industries, the government is considering imposing an export ban on four key metals — lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta).

“The government is planning to introduce a ban on the export of these minerals because of their importance in powering sectors critical to national security and technological advancements,” a senior official said.

Google says otherwise mate.

Look, I'm all about calling a spade by its name when it comes to South Asia but let's not mock a country's protectionist agendas in today's world of oligarchical driven hegemony.

I am sure a large country like India has small quantities of those minerals. I would be surprised India is exporting them though.

its a move that india will not export raw materials
and india wants international companies to build factories to create finished product like batteries etc for export rather than raw material
