PM Modi at BRICS

At the BRICS summit held at Rio de Janeiro, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a strong message to the world leaders about a fast-growing global concern important minerals. As the demand for resources such as lithium, cobalt and rare minerals is increasing, especially for clean energy and defense technology, the possibility of monopoly and their misuse is also increasing.

Prime Minister Modi warned the BRICS countries that important minerals should not be "handicapped". He appealed for a fair access, stable supply chain and cooperation to prevent geopolitical intervention in these essential resources. Even though he did not name any country, his statement is clearly considered to be a sign of China's dominance which is on a large part of the world's rare mineral reserves.

Prime Minister Modi insisted that the world will have to work together so that no country can exploit these minerals for selfish purposes. He also said that minerals which are extremely essential for electric vehicles, solar energy and AI-based innovation should be managed with transparency and morality.

This request comes at a time when global powers are in the race to secure supply chains and reduce dependence on any one source. BRICS countries as well as other nations are exploring the possibilities of joint ventures, new mining projects and strategic storage to ensure long-term stability.

Modi's speech was not only about minerals, but it also talks about justice and shared responsibility. He urged the BRICS members to prepare cooperative structures that promote innovation without durable mining methods, data sharing and political bias or pressure.

As India positions itself as a leader in clean tech and manufacturing, Modi’s message highlights a deeper vision: a world where essential resources are not tools of dominance, but bridges of collaboration. His remarks have sparked serious conversation around global supply chain ethics, and what it means to secure the future without sacrificing trust.
