NTPC, an energy company, is planning to find uranium mines outside of India.
Uranium is needed as fuel for nuclear projects.
They will hire a consultant to find the best locations for the mines, after signing an agreement with UCIL.

The consultant will help evaluate things like how much uranium is available.

This is part of NTPC's plan to secure raw material for future nuclear projects.
NTPC is collaborating with UCIL for joint techno-commercial due diligence.
