NLC India Explores Rare Earth Recovery Technologies
NLC India Limited (NLCIL) has signed an agreement with CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI) to work together on extracting critical and strategic minerals, including Rare Earth Elements (REEs), from mining waste and other secondary sources.
