The National Aluminium Company Limited’s subsidiary KABIL has reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding with Oil India Limited to explore and develop critical mineral projects jointly.
Signed at NALCO’s headquarters in Bhubaneswar, the MoU aims to build a strong collaboration between KABIL and Oil India and foster teamwork in exploring critical minerals, domestically and internationally.
