Significance of the Lithium triangle #Shorts #shorts #upsc

Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile together form the lithium triangle. This region has vast reserves of lithium. As we know, lithium is a critical element used in the batteries of smartphones, laptops, and even electric vehicles. Due to the increasing global demand for this vital element in the modern world, the strategic importance of the lithium triangle is also rising. Countries are competing with each other to control the supply chains. Currently, China and the US are the major players in lithium extraction in this region. Both countries are heavily investing in the lithium triangle countries. Considering the strategic, economic, and geopolitical factors, India is also expanding its outreach in Latin America. Seeing that the US and China already have a significant presence here, India will have to catch up quickly and increase its footprint in the region. Because in today's world, whoever controls the lithium supply chain will majorly influence future technology, energy, and global geopolitics.
