The new hub is an important milestone in the company’s journey to become a diversified international mining leader, with an emphasis on real-time intelligence, asset acquisition, and global alliances in essential mineral sectors.
On June 30, 2025, NMDC, India’s largest iron ore producer, made a key milestone by opening its new worldwide office in Dubai, UAE. This strategic development strengthens NMDC’s global presence and advances its aim of becoming a multinational mining giant. The office was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Union Minister Shri H.D. Kumaraswamy, Minister of Steel and Heavy Industries, in the august presence of Shri H. E. Sunjay Sudhir, Ambassador of India to the UAE; Shri Amitava Mukherjee, CMD, NMDC; Shri Amarendu Prakash, CMD, SAIL; Shri Satish Kumar Sivan, Consul General of India, Dubai; Shri Vinod Kumar Tripathi, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Steel; and other senior representatives from the Ministry of Steel and Embassy of India.

The Dubai office will serve as NMDC’s strategic base, actively monitoring developments in the mineral sectors of the MENA region, Africa, and Australia, including regulatory changes and government policies. Its primary responsibilities will be to scout mineral assets, undertake technical due diligence, and facilitate engagements with governments, business partners, and research institutions. By delivering real-time market knowledge and rapid decision assistance, the office will allow NMDC’s leadership to react quickly to global opportunities. Furthermore, it will aid in the development of a trustworthy network for confidential insights into peer organisations, as well as the exploration of collaborations in Mining Equipment and Technology Services.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Amitava Mukherjee, CMD, NMDC, says, “Dubai represents a gateway to global opportunity. With this new office, NMDC is poised to redefine the mining landscape. With our expansion, we are revolutionising our approach to mineral development, securing India’s position as a leader in the mining industry, and driving innovation in resource utilisation.”
As part of its global mineral diversification strategy, NMDC has been actively evaluating acquisition opportunities across ten strategic mineral assets worldwide, as well as exploring critical mineral block acquisitions in Africa, Australia, and South America to strengthen its position in the global critical mineral value chain.
The Dubai headquarters will serve as a strategic nerve centre for NMDC, allowing it to respond more quickly and with foresight for global expansion.
