Uranium Corporation of India (UCIL) is a public sector undertaking (PSU), under the Department of Atomic Energy for uranium mining and processing. The corporation was founded in 1967 and is responsible for the mining and milling of uranium ore in India. [2] The firm operates mines at Jadugora, Bhatin, Narwapahar, Turamdih and Banduhurang [3]
Uranium Corporation of India: 1967–Present Discovered in 1951, Jaduguda Mine has the distinction of being the first uranium mine of the country. The mine is accessed through two 5-metre (16 ft) diameter vertical shafts of depth of 640 m (2,100 ft), attaining a total depth of 905 m (2,969 ft). Narwapahar Mine: Jharkhand: Jadugora, East Singhbhum
It commenced operation in 1967 and was the first uranium mine in India. [1] The deposits at this mine were discovered in 1951. As of March 2012, India possesses eight functional uranium mines, including this Jaduguda Mine. [2] A new mine, Tummalapalle uranium mine is discovered and mining is going to start from it.
Uranium production is carried out in about 13 countries around the world, in 2017 producing a cumulative total of 59,462 tonnes of uranium (tU). The international producers were Kazakhstan (39%), Canada (22%), Australia (10%), Namibia (7.1%), Niger (5.8%), Russian Federation (4.9%), Uzbekistan (4.0%), China (3.2%), United States (1.6%), Ukraine (0.9%), India (0.7%), South Africa (0.5%) and ...

2021 uranium mining by nation [1] Schematic diagram of stages from uranium mining to energy production. Uranium mining is the process of extraction of uranium ore from the ground. Over 50,000 tons of uranium were produced in 2019.
Earlier, uranium reserves were found only up to a depth of about 250 meters. The latest findings reportedly indicate that the reserves run as deep as 1,000 metres. [4] This finding substantially increased India’s capability of producing energy from nuclear plants. As of 2018, India was producing about 3.13% of its energy from nuclear plants. [5]
