GMDC Takes Giant Leap Towards Operationalizing Baitarni-West Coal Mine

Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. (GMDC) continues to strengthen its national footprint through a calibrated expansion into the coal sector. GMDC has acquired three coal blocks in Odisha, with the Baitarni-West coal mine being the most value-accretive asset. The 15 MTPA Baitarni-West coal mine is set to strengthen India’s energy ecosystem, with GMDC awarding operational responsibilities to a mining partner. GMDC has obtained Stage-I Forest Clearance (FC) and Environmental Clearance (EC) for the Baitarni-West Opencast Coal Mine from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Govt. of India.
