A senior official said on Thursday that India has been engaging with China to ensure an&nbsp;uninterrupted supply of rare earth materials, which are important for various industries, including electric vehicles, wind turbines,&nbsp;and defence manufacturing.&nbsp;The official told ANI that New Delhi is in touch with China for the procurement of permanent magnets, which are made from rare earth materials. The Centre is&nbsp;exploring alternative supply channels and domestic sources to reduce dependence on China.&nbsp;"We are also finding ways and means by which the supply chain does not get impacted. Efforts are on," the official said.&nbsp;In April this year, China announced that it would implement export controls on some rare-earth materials, which created shortages of these materials across the world, including in India. The export controls have impacted critical sectors in India, like defense and electronics manufacturing.&nbsp;New Delhi wants to diversify&nbsp;its rare earth supply through imports, mining, and global partnerships. It is also attempting to make diplomatic efforts robust to secure a stable and affordable supply of rare earth materials.&nbsp;The government has kept aside a budget of Rs 1345 crore to provide an incentive to those thinking of producing&nbsp;rare earth magnets in India. The subsidy will facilitate investment for establishing processing facilities for companies to convert rare earth oxides into magnets.&nbsp;New Delhi is also working with several countries to bolster&nbsp;access to rare earth elements through initiatives like the India-US Critical Minerals Partnership and QUAD.

China's export controls on some rare-earth materials created shortages of these materials across the world. India is also affected by this.
