Key cathode material in lithium-ion batteries (NMC, NCA chemistries) and essential for super-alloys used in aerospace and defence. The DRC supplies ~70% of global cobalt.
Why it matters for India: India has no significant cobalt mining. Companies involved in battery manufacturing, super-alloy production, and EV supply chains must secure cobalt through imports or recycling — making it a strategic bottleneck.
