The project cost would be Rs 2,000-2,200 crore and we would have to take Cabinet approval for the project," said Chairman and Managing Director K. D. Dewan. He said that two companies, one each from Israel and Finland, were selected for the technology which would be used for the first time to mine the metal through chemical process, instead of using heat.
