As part of its Vision 2030, NMDC is targeting production of 100 million tonnes annually while expanding into lithium, cobalt, and other key minerals to support India’s energy transition. The Dubai base will enhance responsiveness, offer market insights, and help forge partnerships to secure India’s position in the global mineral value chain.

NMDC is currently evaluating acquisition opportunities in ten major mineral assets across Africa, Australia, and South America. The company also aims to strengthen its presence in Mining Equipment and Technology Services (METS), positioning the Dubai office as a strategic hub for its long-term international ambitions.
