As India accelerates towards a $5 trillion economy, reliable coal supply remains indispensable. GMDC’s entry into coal mining in Odisha complements our lignite heritage, ensuring steady fuel for power, steel, cement and other core industries.
GMDC has successfully secured three strategically located coal mines in Odisha, with a combined geological reserve of 2,095 million tonnes.
With 1,152 million tonnes of geological reserves, Baitarni West is GMDC’s largest coal asset. Its high-calorific value and proximity to industrial corridors make it a dependable fuel source for power generation and energy-intensive sectors. The site’s connectivity to established rail infrastructure ensures efficient, large-scale distribution.
Contributing 547 million tonnes of reserves, the Burapahar mine complements GMDC’s coal portfolio with quality thermal coal and strong logistical viability. A dedicated rail spur is planned, enabling faster evacuation and direct supply to key consumption zones.
This developing mine holds 396 million tonnes of geological reserves and represents GMDC’s forward-looking investment into long-term energy capacity. Geological exploration is underway to unlock its full potential, supported by planned rail-link access.
With this robust foundation in coal mining, GMDC is uniquely positioned to meet India’s rising energy demands. Our coal portfolio not only supports current power needs but also lays the groundwork for more resilient, self-sustained industrial growth in the years to come.
