Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited has progressed its rare earths initiative with the transfer of an indigenous processing technology for the Ambadungar project in Gujarat.
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has transferred a fully indigenous technology to GMDC for the Ambadungar Rare Earth Project.
The technology, titled “Process for the Recovery of Rare Earth Values from Ankeritic Ore Body of Ambadungar, Gujarat, India (CH48MinD)”, is designed to produce Mixed Rare Earth Concentrate from hard-rock ankeritic ore and address ore-specific technical challenges.
The technology transfer took place at the BARC campus in Trombay in the presence of senior officials from both organisations.
GMDC intends to deploy the technology initially at a pilot scale with continued technical support from BARC to undertake process validation, recovery optimisation and environmental performance assessment before moving to subsequent stages.
The corporation also plans to utilise the International Center of Excellence in Mining Safety and Automation in Ahmedabad for pilot-scale and analytical testing.
As per exchange filings, Shri Roopwant Singh, IAS, Managing Director, GMDC, said, “The transfer of the rare earth processing technology from BARC for the Ambadungar REE Project represents an important step in GMDC’s rare earths journey. It strengthens our ability to develop the project in a systematic and responsible manner, while building an end-to-end, future-ready rare earths value chain.”
As of January 20, 2026, at 10:45 AM, Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited share price is trading at ₹555.55 per share, reflecting a gain of 3.07% from the previous closing price.
The technology transfer marks a milestone in GMDC’s Ambadungar project, supporting pilot-scale validation and future development of rare earth processing capabilities.
