Business operations
GMDC is involved in the mining and mineral processing business. Its product lineup includes lignite and fluorspars. It has five operational lignite mines located in Kutch, South Gujarat and Bhavnagar regions. GMDC is a leader in exploring and supplying lignite across Gujarat.

These deposits are strategically grouped with several smaller deposits situated close to each other. Currently, it manages nine bauxite mines, eight of which are in the Kutch district (Gadhsisa Group of Bauxite Mines), and one is situated in the region of Devbhumi Dwarka.
