Explanation:

Helium is colourless, odourless, tasteless, inert and a noble gas. India imports helium for its needs, and with the U.S. appearing set to cut off exports of helium since 2021, Indian industry stands to lose out heavily. India’s Rajmahal volcanic basin in Jharkhand is the store house of helium trapped for billions years.
