Union Minister Visits Rajpura Dariba Complex

Shri G. Kishan Reddy, Hon'ble Union Minister of Coal and Mines, Government of India, visited Hindustan Zinc's Rajpura Dariba Complex in Rajasthan. The visit encompassed the Sindesar Khurd Mine — one of the world's largest silver-producing underground mines — and the Dariba Smelting Complex. During the visit, the Minister reviewed technology-led mining and smelting operations, safety systems, remote-controlled equipment, and sustainability initiatives. He also witnessed a demonstration by India's first all-women mine rescue team and reviewed flagship CSR programmes including Sakhi, Shiksha Sambal, Zinc Football, and the Unchi Udaan programme. Discussions centred on responsible mining, mineral security, and strengthening domestic value chains.

ESG Milestones: Zinc Mark Certifications and Dow Jones Index Inclusion

Hindustan Zinc achieved two landmark certifications under the globally recognised Zinc Mark framework during the period. The Chanderiya Lead Zinc Smelter became India's first Zinc Mark certified smelting site, while the Rampura Agucha Mine — the world's largest underground zinc-lead mine — became India's first Zinc Mark certified mine. These certifications validate adherence to internationally benchmarked environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Additionally, Hindustan Zinc was included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Index 2026 for Emerging Markets, reflecting its leadership in sustainability, governance, and long-term value creation.

Strategic Partnerships and Critical Minerals Expansion

Hindustan Zinc signed an MoU with Group Nirmal to establish a zinc wire manufacturing facility at its flagship Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan. The facility will manufacture zinc wire using SHG zinc, catering to key sectors including infrastructure, renewable energy, automotive, and industrial engineering. In a separate development, Hindustan Zinc emerged as the successful bidder for the Jhandawali-Satipura Potash and Halite Block in Rajasthan under the Government of India's critical mineral auction. This move supports India's resource security and self-reliance goals, strengthens fertiliser security, and reduces import dependence.
