Lignite
India’s leading merchant seller of lignite, supplying thermal fuel to industries across Gujarat.
Mineral Portfolio
Core Mining Operations
GMDC explores and extracts lignite, bauxite, fluorspar, manganese, silica sand, limestone, bentonite, and ball clay — serving as India’s top merchant seller of lignite.
Mines across Kutch, Bhavnagar, Bharuch, Surat, Panchmahal, Chhota Udepur and other districts supply fuel and industrial minerals that Gujarat’s factories cannot source from distant coalfields alone. Scientific mining, safety, and long-term resource planning sit at the centre of this work.
What We Mine
A Diversified Gujarat Mineral Basket
Each mineral serves a distinct industrial chain — from power and cement to ceramics, chemicals, and metallurgy.
Bauxite
Feedstock for alumina and allied industry, drawn from Gujarat’s lateritic belts.
Fluorspar
A critical input for chemical and metallurgical processes, including acid-grade applications.
Manganese
Ore supporting steel, alloys, and related manufacturing demand.
Ball Clay
Ceramic-grade clay used by tiles, sanitaryware, and pottery industries.
Silica Sand
High-silica sand for glass, foundry, and construction-related uses.
Bentonite
Swelling clay for foundry, pelletising, drilling, and civil applications.
Limestone
Cement and chemical-grade stone supporting Gujarat’s construction and process industries.
