India to get super rich! Massive gold deposit discovered in..., to produce gold as much as ..
The Jonnagiri Gold Project is set to become India's first large private gold mine and is expected to produce around 750 kilograms of gold every year. In the first year, it will produce about 400 kilograms, and then gradually increase to full capacity. Interestingly, this will be the first gold mine to start in India in 80 years.
So far, Deccan Gold Mines Limited has invested nearly Rs. 200 crore in this project. Another company, Geomysore Services India Limited, owns 40 per cent of Deccan Gold and is helping develop the mine. Together, they are working to make this India's first private gold mining operation.
The Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board has already given environmental clearance for the mine and processing plant. Before starting full-scale mining, the company will run trial operations for a few months to make sure everything works smoothly.
The gold extracted from this mine will be sold to nearby refineries. The company expects that by extracting 400 kilograms of gold in the first year, it could earn between Rs. 300 to Rs. 350 crore, with a profit margin of about 60 per cent EBITDA. They aim to achieve this financial target by the year 2027.
After the news that mining permission was granted, the share price of Deccan Gold Mines saw a big jump. On Thursday, the stock closed at Rs. 163.70, rising by 9.73 per cent, which is its highest price in 10 months.
In the past one year, Deccan Gold Mines' stock has gone up by around 60 per cent, and since the beginning of 2025, it has grown by about 46.7 per cent. Investors are gaining confidence in the success of the Jonnagiri gold project.
This project is expected to extract 6.8 tonnes of gold using an open-pit method. Geomysore, the partner company, has already done deep drilling and surveys in both the eastern and western blocks. With further drilling, the gold estimate might increase to 14 tonnes, which could help the mine run for up to 15 years.
The project has received all the required government approvals, like CFE (Consent for Establishment), CFO (Consent for Operation), and Environmental Clearance. The mining plan was approved back in 2008 by the Indian Bureau of Mines. The environmental clearance is valid till 2043, which means the mine can operate for a long time.
This gold mine is expected to give a boost to the Indian economy and create new job opportunities for local people. The Jonnagiri project will start with a capacity to process 1,000 tonnes of ore per day, which may later be increased to 2,000 tonnes per day. This is a big step toward helping India become more self-reliant in gold production.

Auric will get 10,000 acres for expansion, says secretary of department for promotion of industry & internal trade
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Amardeep Singh Bhatia, the secretary of Centre's department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT) at the Centre, announced on Saturday that the Aurangabad Industrial City (Auric) will undergo further expansion on 10,000 acres of land. "Auric will play a key role in the path to achieving a $30 trillion economy for India by 2047. It has been playing a pioneering role by emerging as a vibrant manufacturing hub," Bhatia said during his visit to Auric at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Auric is a greenfield industrial smart city taking shape over 10,000 acres as part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). The industrial city is being developed in Bidkin and Shendra nodes, with the Bidkin node already attracting significant investments from electric vehicle manufacturers, among others. Bhatia added that Centre plans to establish 100 additional industrial cities like Auric across the country. "In order to achieve the $30 trillion economy target, we have to grow at the rate of 9 to 10% every year. The development of manufacturing hubs is crucial to achieve this," he said. P Anbalagan, the principal secretary of the state industries department, who accompanied the Union secretary, said, "The necessary notification would be issued in the next two to three months, paving the way for the expansion of the AURIC." Bhatia also visited the Marathwada Accelerator for Growth and Incubation Council (MAGIC), emphasising that Indian startups should focus on building world-class products. "The Indian startups need to focus not just on India but on global markets. The country has emerged as the third-largest startup ecosystem globally," he said, praising MAGIC for securing more than 20 patents for startups and supporting tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Speaking on the occasion, Anbalagan announced that 15 new policies would soon be introduced by state govt, covering sectors such as defence, event management, logistics, deep technology, and special MSME support. "Funding worth Rs 3,000 crore will be made available across various domains for startups. Additionally, the 'MAITRI 2.0' portal will soon be launched, offering approvals for over 120 services through a single-window system," he said.

Silver shines at record Rs 1.1 lakh per kg in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: Silver prices reached an all-time high of Rs 1.10 lakh per kg in the Ahmedabad bullion market on Saturday, driven by global geopolitical tensions and strong industrial demand. Bullion traders attribute the surge to heightened uncertainties in international markets, including conflicts in Europe and West Asia, alongside growing silver consumption in sectors such as electronics, solar energy, and electric vehicles. "Silver is increasingly seen as a hedge in uncertain times, similar to gold. At the same time, demand from industries is pushing prices up steadily," said Haresh Acharya, director of India Bullion and Jewellers' Association (IBJA). "However, the rally has left jewellers concerned, particularly with the festive season around the corner. With Rakshabandhan approaching, silver coins and gift articles typically witness a spike in demand, but the steep prices may dampen consumer sentiment," he added. You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad While investors may see silver as a safe bet, retail buyers are likely to turn cautious. If prices continue to climb, jewellers fear that demand for silver jewellery, bars, and gift items may remain subdued in the upcoming festive months.
