As I pointed out - the Indian government WANTS other countries to dump e-waste in India, becuase it makes the economics of building an end-to-end REE processing supply chain much easier for Indian businesses.

Already, e-waste processors in India have startup to upskill into manufacturing NdFeB magnets [0] which are currently entirely monopolized by China.

Also, batteries are an example of E-Waste that India is incentivizing to come to India.

> Being that entire shanty towns (people included) in India have disappeared as the landfill they were built on shifted due to rain

India is in the midst of a shantytown razing program similar to what China did in the 2000s [1]

To become a developed country by 2047, India needs to make some sacrifices that the US did and China is currently doing.
