Deccan Gold shifts from exploration to gold production, builds critical-mineral portfolio - The Economic Times

AI desk brief

Deccan Gold says its Jonnagiri Gold Project in India is ramping up production, marking a shift from exploration to operating assets. The project produced about 89.7 kg of gold in Q1 FY27, with roughly 59 kg sold during the quarter, as the company highlighted about Rs 600 crore of project development investment since 2020.

The buildout is also creating local economic impact, with around 1,000 jobs cited. For the desk, this is a modest supply-side positive for Indian gold output, though the absolute production scale remains small versus global market flows.
