COMPANY STRUCTURE

Our Corporate Profile

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Executing our Strategy

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.
