State Times
|June 07, 2025
Referring to the recently discovered large stores of Lithium reserves in the same vicinity and district Reasi of Jammu & Kashmir where PM Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the world's highest railway bridge, the Chenab Bridge, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that these huge lithium reserves will be the key to India achieving the target of "Net Zero by 2070" carbon emissions by 2070.

The Minister made these remarks while addressing a public gathering today in Katra to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the region.
Speaking before a packed audience and in the presence of Prime Minister Modi, Dr. Jitendra said, "Prime Minister ji, you will be delighted to know that recently, a large number of lithium mineral deposits have been found where we are sitting, a few kilometres away. When that lithium comes into use, it will play a role in achieving a net-zero emissions target by 2070. There are many wonders in this area that have yet to be explored and have never been carved. But now, with your blessings, they are joining the journey of Viksot Bharat".
