A few days ago, Geological Survey of India discovered a deposit of 59 lakh tonnes of lithium, an important metal used in making electric vehicles and solar panels, in Riasi district. (PTI)

Lithium falls under the category of scarce resources and was previously not available in India, due to which India was dependent on its imports. Now the G-3 study conducted by GSI has revealed that the lithium deposits in Salal village situated in Talahti of Mata Vaishno Devi Tirtha are of high quality. (PTI)

A typical lithium grade is 220 parts per million, an official said. While the lithium reserves found in Jammu and Kashmir are of more than 550 ppm grade and the reserves are about 59 lakh tonnes, which will outpace China in terms of lithium availability. (PTI)
