Hindustan Zinc has announced a major step in its growth and sustainability journey. In a Board meeting held on August 18, 2025, the company approved the setting up of a 10 MTPA Tailings Reprocessing plant as part of its ambitious 2X growth plan, aiming to double its overall capacity.
The state-of-the-art plant, with a capital investment of up to INR 3,823 crore, will focus on recovering valuable metals from tailing dumps. This project is touted as India’s first-of-its-kind tailings reprocessing facility, designed to reduce the environmental footprint of traditional wet tailings disposal methods while improving overall mineral recovery.
With this initiative, Hindustan Zinc is not only enhancing its production capabilities but also taking a significant step toward sustainable mining practices, reflecting its commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation.
