Our world-class, low-cost and scalable assets are a key enabler of our operational efficiencies. We remain committed to strengthening our strong operational asset base through strategic initiatives and investments. FY 2023-24 witnessed a further scale-up of our assets to drive growth and value creation across our business segments.
Amid a challenging environment, marked by softened metal prices, Hindustan Zinc continued to maintain its margin, underlining its inherent resilience. Sustained cost reduction was a key contributor to the Company’s success in keeping its margin at a steady 47%. Hindustan Zinc clocked the lowest cost in the last three years during FY 2023-24, underscoring its decision-making agility. Maximisation of silver production to leverage the rising silver prices, coupled with modifications in the power plant to ensure better linkage to coal consumption, helped in the reduction of the power costs, while promoting operational and commercial efficiencies.
Hindustan Zinc’s value proposition is driven by its continuous efforts towards the realisation of its Sustainability Goals 2025.
