Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) has received the Environmental Clearance for the capacity expansion from 3 MTPA to 5 MTPA of Lignite for Surkha(N) Lignite Mine, by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MOEFCC). The Surkha(N) Lignite Mine holds strategic importance for GMDC, representing a significant leap forward in the company's growth trajectory. This expansion not only signifies increased production but also aligns with GMDC's commitment to sustainability and responsible resource utilization.

Taking a leap, with the engagement of two Turnkey Mining contracts at Surkha(N) Lignite Mine, GMDC sets to scaleup its production targets. The enhanced lignite production capacity is expected to drive substantial revenue growth for GMDC. As Gujarat's foremost mining entity, GMDC plays a crucial role in the state's economic landscape. The expansion of lignite production annually is poised to fuel the energy needs of industries across Saurashtra and Gujarat, fostering robust growth and development across various sectors within the state.
