Deccan Gold Mines Ltd., India’s first listed gold and critical minerals exploration company, is making headlines with its strategic international expansion. On September 29, 2025, Dr. Hanuma Prasad Modali, Managing Director of Deccan Gold, met with H.E. Mr. Askar Beshimov, Ambassador of the Kyrgyz Republic to India, during his visit to Chennai. The meeting highlighted the growing economic and diplomatic partnership between India and Kyrgyzstan.
Central to this collaboration is Deccan Gold’s Altyn Tor Gold Project in Kyrgyzstan, which is set to commence production later this year. The project marks the first overseas mining investment by an Indian company in Kyrgyzstan and underscores Deccan Gold’s ambition to become a global mining leader. It also aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by enhancing domestic access to critical minerals and supporting long-term resource security.
The meeting further emphasized the potential of mining and critical minerals as priority sectors for bilateral cooperation. Strengthening supply chains, reducing import dependence, and fostering innovation are key areas where India and Kyrgyzstan can collaborate. Deccan Gold’s investment exemplifies how cross-border partnerships in the mining sector can drive economic growth for both nations while advancing strategic resource objectives.
