The Board of Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) has approved a Rs 3,041 crore capital outlay for fiscal year 2025.
The company has allocated Rs 1,138 crore towards new lignite projects; Rs 629 crore to expedite the operationalization of the allotted coal blocks in Odisha. Further, the company has allocated Rs 462 crore for the expansion and modernization of its metal projects.
GMDC is strategically investing Rs 371 crore into the development of power projects, with significant emphasis on renewable energy.

achieving long-term growth, operational excellence, and sustainability. We are confident that this strategic capital allocation will create substantial value for our stakeholders”- said Roopwant Singh, IAS, Managing Director, GMDC.
