India and the United Kingdom formalised cooperation on critical minerals through a Research Collaboration Agreement that resulted in the establishment of the India–UK Critical Minerals Global Supply Chain Observatory (GSCO). The GSCO supports collaboration between TEXMiN at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and the University of Cambridge to develop a data-driven platform for monitoring and analysing global critical mineral supply chains. The initiative aims to strengthen critical mineral supply chain intelligence, support evidence-based policymaking, and enhance bilateral cooperation on critical minerals with the goal of developing resilient, diversified and sustainable critical mineral supply chains and unlocking bilateral investment opportunities.
