Amid the ongoing trade war with America, china recently banned the export of Rare Earth Elements (REE). Rare earth elements are considered very important in modern technology and are used to make smartphones, semiconductors and weapons. Many countries of the world have come under tension due to china stopping its export, because china is the largest country in the world to produce rare earth elements. Stopping the export will be a big blow to the projects going on in many countries of the world and it will also prove to be a big setback for America's defense products.

Let us tell you, Rare Earth Elements are also commonly called REM or Rare Earth Minerals (REE). These are a group of 17 chemically similar elements found in the earth. However, rare earth minerals are not rare and are found in abundance in the earth's crust. However, it takes a lot of time to separate and process these elements. In such a situation, let us know what is the number in the production of rare earth elements in India?

These elements are grouped

Used in these things

Rare earth elements are used in smartphones, military equipment, weapons, electric vehicles, wind turbines, aircraft engines, oil refining, electronics products, medical equipment.

What is the number in the production of REE in India?

India is at number three in the world in the production of rare earth elements (REE). In this, china is at number one, America is at number two and india is at number three. According to a report, india has reserves of 6.9 million metric tonnes of rare earth elements, which are mainly found in states like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, odisha and Kerala.
