In the wake of Indo US nuclear deal, ONGC is looking to foray into uranium mining in a view of great potential in that field.
ONGC board has approved entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL), for exploration and exploitation of uranium, the official said.
This collaboration with UCIL is to leverage ONGC's expertise in exploration of hydrocarbons to commercially exploit this vital and strategic mineral, he added.
Currently, ONGC is passively studying the prospects through ONGC Energy Center (OEC) by studying the logs of existing wealth.
