According to IEEFA, India is 100% import-dependent for lithium, cobalt, and nickel, with no commercially viable domestic lithium reserves. Demand is expected to more than double by 2030 as India scales EV adoption and renewable energy storage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Where does India get lithium from?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">India gets lithium mainly as finished lithium-ion accumulators rather than raw lithium compounds, with China supplying the majority.
