India Hits A Jackpot Again: Almost 20 Tonnes Of Gold Reserves Discovered in Multiple Districts Of Odisha

 You’re absolutely right — India has indeed hit another gold “jackpot,” with nearly 20 tonnes of gold reserves confirmed in multiple districts of Odisha. Here’s the latest on what’s been discovered and what it could mean:

What’s the Scoop?

• What was found? According to reports published in mid-August 2025, geologists have identified significant gold reserves — estimated between 10 to 20 metric tonnes — scattered across several Odisha districts. This represents a major milestone for the state’s mining potential.

• Where exactly? Gold has been confirmed in:

  • Deogarh (particularly the Adasa-Rampalli area)

  • Sundargarh

  • Nabarangpur

  • Keonjhar (also spelled Kendujhar)

  • Angul

  • Koraput
    Additional exploratory work is ongoing in Mayurbhanj, Malkangiri, Sambalpur, and Boudh.

Why It Matters (and What to Watch For)

Economic Upside:

• If commercially viable, these reserves could boost state revenue, drive job creation, and improve infrastructure in mining regions.

• On a national scale, while modest compared to India’s annual gold imports of 700–800 tonnes, even a small increase in domestic production can reduce import reliance.

Next Steps in the Pipeline:

• The government, along with the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and the Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC), is advancing exploration from G3 (preliminary) to G2 (detailed sampling and drilling) levels.

• The first gold mining block, located in Deogarh, is being prepared for auction under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) framework.

• Technical committees will assess feasibility, and environmental and social impact studies are being included in the planning process.

Expert Notes:

• India’s annual domestic gold output remains low (just 1.6 tonnes in 2020), so even combined with Odisha’s entire reserves, the impact on total import dependence would be limited—but meaningful.

• Sustainable mining and balancing local ecological and social concerns will be critical to ensuring the benefits are widely shared.

Local Voices:

On Reddit, some users raised concerns about profits and governance:

“This gold find in Odisha could boost the state’s economy with $6.4B revenue over 10 yrs & 500–1 K jobs/yr, while cutting national gold imports … environmental & social challenges need managing.”
