NEW DELHI: Canadian climate technology developer Enervoxa plans talks with India's Vedanta, Hindalco Industries and state-run NALCO as it looks to set up a processing plant in the country to extract rare earths from a waste byproduct of aluminium production.
A commercial-scale plant would cost around $250 million to $350 million and could be financed through a combination of strategic equity and project financing, Enervoxa Chief Executive Vandit Verma told Reuters. The company is looking at potential locations in eastern India for the project, he said.
