Months after lithium reserves were discovered in Jammu and Kashmir, the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has found another reserve of the crucial mineral in Degana in Rajasthan's Nagaur district. It is believed that these reserves are much bigger in quantity than the ones found in the Union Territory and can meet 80% of the total country's demand. Currently, India is import-dependent for several minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt.
