Share Share Share Share

UDAIPUR (India CSR): Hindustan Zinc, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, has reaffirmed its leadership in responsible mining with its Kayad, Sindesar Khurd, and Rampura Agucha Mines receiving the prestigious 5-Star Rating from the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) for FY 2023–24. This accolade represents the highest honour awarded by the Government of India for excellence in scientific, safe, and sustainable mining practices.

Kayad Mine in Ajmer district has earned the distinction for the 9th time, a consistent record of excellence in mine-level sustainability. Sindesar Khurd Mine in Rajsamand District has secured the honour for the 3rd consecutive year (fourth time overall), while the Rampura Agucha Mine in Bhilwara district, the world’s largest underground zinc-producing mine, has received it for the 2nd consecutive year (and 4th overall). The awards were presented by Hon’ble Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, Sanjay Lohia, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Mines, and Dr. P. N. Sharma, Controller General, IBM, in New Delhi.

Commenting on the recognition, Arun Misra, CEO – Hindustan Zinc said, “Our mines have set new standards in responsible mining — not only through digital innovation but also in the way we harmoniously engage with nature and local communities. Earning 5-Star Ratings consistently year after year reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability, innovation, and long-term value creation. With advanced technology and a digital-first approach, we are enhancing operational efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and fostering inclusive growth.”

The 5-Star Rating acknowledges excellence across several sustainability dimensions, including environmental management, mine closure planning, stakeholder engagement, and transparency in disclosures. This latest achievement reaffirms Hindustan Zinc’s long-standing commitment to embedding sustainability into every facet of its mining operations.

Hindustan Zinc’s Rampura Agucha, Sindesar Khurd, and Kayad Mines are among the most advanced mines in India. Rampura Agucha is the world’s largest underground zinc mine, equipped with remote operated drilling and loading along with real-time monitoring systems. Sindesar Khurd, one among the world’s top 5 silver producing mines, uses high-efficiency mining and automated haulage systems. Kayad Mine integrates smart control rooms and energy-efficient operations, showcasing innovation even at a smaller scale.

Together, these mines drive Hindustan Zinc’s operational excellence through scale and technology. From deploying India’s first tele-remote loaders and shift-hour automated drilling to integrating AI-driven maintenance and robotics in smelting, the company is transforming its operations for greater safety, efficiency, and precision. Upcoming innovations like LiDAR-enabled drone mapping will further strengthen its position as a digitally enabled, future-ready miner.

Beyond its operations, Hindustan Zinc plays a critical role in restoring and protecting ecosystems. The company has undertaken significant biodiversity projects, including Miyawaki plantations, wetland restorations, and the recent MoU with Rajasthan Forest Department to develop India’s first Crocodile Conservation Reserve in Udaipur, Rajasthan. These initiatives reflect a nature-positive approach grounded in science and community partnership.

Hindustan Zinc Limited, a Vedanta Group company, is the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and is amongst the top 5 silver producers globally. The company supplies to more than 40 countries and holds a market share of about 77% of the primary zinc market in India. Hindustan Zinc has been recognized as the world’s most sustainable company in the metals and mining category for the second consecutive year by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2024, reflecting its operational excellence, innovation, and leading ESG practices. The company also launched EcoZen, Asia’s first low carbon ‘green’ zinc brand. Produced using renewable energy, EcoZen has a carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne of carbon equivalent per tonne of zinc produced, about 75% lower than the global average. Hindustan Zinc is also a certified 3.32 times Water-Positive company and is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. Transforming the lives of 2.3 million people through its focused social welfare initiatives, Hindustan Zinc is among the Top 10 CSR companies in India. As an energy transition metals company, Hindustan Zinc is pivotal in providing critical metals essential for a sustainable future.
