Adequate resources of uranium have been identified by the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd. to meet the requirements of India's currently envisaged nuclear power program. There are four promising uranium mining areas in India: the Singhbhum district (Bihar), West Khasi hills (Meghalaya), the Bhima Basin area (Gulbarga district of Karnataka), and the Yellapur- Peddagattu area of Nalgonda district (Andhra Pradesh).
Data collected by the Atomic Minerals Division (AMD) of the Department of Atomic Energy, has indicated the possibility of a uranium deposit near Wahkyn in Meghalaya, near the confluence of Wahblei and Kinsiang Rivers. The Wahkyn deposits are of better grade than the uranium deposits near Domiasat, also in Meghalayam, and are likely to be bigger than the established Domiasat deposits.
