Under the MoU, both organisations will evaluate opportunities for technical collaboration, project development and potential business structures. The partnership is also expected to support knowledge exchange, technical assessments and coordinated efforts to advance rare earth resource development.
The initiative forms part of GMDC's broader development roadmap for the Ambadungar deposit, where the company has been advancing efforts in resource utilisation, indigenous processing capabilities and pilot-stage technology validation.
The company stated that the initiative aligns with national priorities to strengthen domestic capabilities in critical minerals and reduce import dependence, while enabling the development of downstream industries linked to clean energy technologies, advanced manufacturing, and strategic sectors.
Roopwant Singh, IAS, managing director, GMDC, said, 'The collaboration with NMDC brings together complementary institutional strengths and technical expertise to explore opportunities in the rare earth sector. Through this initiative, GMDC aims to advance the development of a sustainable rare earth value chain while contributing to India's critical mineral resilience and industrial progress.'
GMDC, India's second-largest lignite producer and the leading merchant seller of lignite, is a state-owned enterprise with the Gujarat government holding a 74% stake. The company mines lignite from deposit-rich regions across the state and supplies it to high-growth industries such as textiles, chemicals, ceramics, bricks, and captive power. The scrip advanced 2.22% to Rs 543.70 on the BSE.
NMDC is engaged in exploration and production of iron ore along with diamond production and sale of sponge iron and generation and sale of wind power. The scrip shed 0.18% to Rs 77.42 on the BSE.

ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
