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.

Uranium Corporation of India in context
Uranium Corporation of India has 3 facilities on record in 1 country (India): 3 operating. The oldest operating one was commissioned in 1967.
How these are worked out: shares and ranks use the world totals cited in the table, and only named companies are ranked (unnamed or country-level entries in a source are not). A facility with no stated capacity is counted as a facility but adds nothing to a capacity figure. Vendor figures count operating units where this company is the recorded reactor vendor; ages count from the start-up year on record, and build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the age and build-times pages.
