The Indian government has established the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM) to promote the recovery of these minerals, allocating ₹100 crore for pilot projects. Research and development initiatives are underway to enhance extraction techniques and explore the economic viability of REE recovery from coal mine waste.
