In this episode of Interpreting India, Shruti Mittal, research analyst at Carnegie India, speaks with Professor Mohan Yellishetty of Monash University on the India-Australia critical minerals partnership, what it has delivered so far, and where the two countries can build the most meaningful cooperation over the next decade.
This episode explores:
• How have India and Australia's mineral positions evolved individually over the last few years, and where do their trajectories stand today when viewed together?
• Beyond the standard supply-demand complementarity, what do genuine areas of cooperation look like in practice?
• What has the Australia-India Critical Minerals Research Hub (AICMRH) built over the past few years, and how has that translated into policy influence on both sides?
• On a 5-to-10-year horizon, what would a mature India-Australia critical minerals partnership look like?
