India depends entirely on its imports for its Lithium-related uses. Researchers at the Atomic Minerals Directorate, a unit of India’s Atomic Energy Commission, have estimated lithium reserves of 14,100 tonnes in a small patch of land surveyed in the Southern Karnataka district.To be precise, it is in the igneous rocks located in the Marlagalla-Allapatna region.
