In the early 60s, the newly-created state of Gujarat needed to ensure its industrial development. The forward-thinking and visionary approach of the leadership at that time, led to two things: The focus on the exploration of Gujarat’s abundant mineral deposits and the incorporation of Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC).
GMDC has an important mandate to develop the major mineral resources of the state. From its challenging beginnings involving the crushing and screening of silica sand required by the glass industry, GMDC is today acknowledged as one of India’s premier mining organisations.
A zero-debt company, we’re ranked 469th among India’s Fortune 500 companies and among the top five organisations in the mining sector. GMDC has successfully diversified into thermal, wind, and solar power generation.
