GMDC and University of Cambridge to Develop AI-Powered Rare Earth Supply Chain Observatory
Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) is partnering with the University of Cambridge to develop India's first AI-powered Rare Earth Supply Chain Observatory. This two-year, phased project with a 600,000 investment will create an interactive platform tracking the entire rare earth elements value chain in real time, including price movements, processing capacity, supply disruptions, and geopolitical risks. The initiative aims to enhance India's supply chain resilience and support strategic decision-making by combining GMDC's mining expertise with Cambridge's industrial analytics.
