Uranium Corporation of India
Uranium Corporation of India is a IND company active in the nuclear fuel chain as mining.
India's uranium miner, working the Singhbhum thrust belt in Jharkhand since 1967 and Tummalapalle in Andhra Pradesh since 2012. Indian ore grades are among the lowest mined anywhere, well under 0.1% uranium, which is why six decades of mining yields a few hundred tonnes a year.
