Home >> Business Profiles >> Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Ltd Company Logo Industry Coal Mines Business Summary Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited, (GMDC) was evolved in the year 1963, with a charter to develop major mineral resources in the State of Gujarat. The Company commenced its operations, with a small sand crushing plant at Surendranagar which supplied graded sand to consumers all over in the State. The sand was used by various manufacturers of sodium silicate and glass industries. The next project, set up by GMDC, in the year 1968 was that of mining and beneficiation plant for fluorspar. Fluorspar as a mineral, is rare in India. This mineral is essential for basic industries, like refining of steel manufacturing of aluminium, hydrochloric acid, foundry flux, welding electrodes etc. By early 70's, the Industrialization of Gujarat took off at a rapid pace, with chemical and textile industries which required fuel in the form of coal. GMDC, taking up the initiative, therefore commenced mining of lignite in Kutch district which slowly and successfully substituted the costlier coal in the state. The production of lignite, demand driven, continued to increase and reached a level of 5 million tonnes by the year 1997-98. eanwhile, based on further exploration in other parts of Gujarat, more deposits of lignite were identified in Bharuch district. GMDC started mining operations at Rajpardi near Ankleshwar in 1984, and has been supplying lignite to majority of the textile industries from this mine.
