The partnership will focus on a comprehensive range of operations encompassing exploration, extraction, refining, and production. It also involves active participation in mineral block auctions and the creation of advanced mining infrastructure to enhance resource utilization and efficiency.

The company operates facilities across several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
