CEO: New tech to lift Hindustan Zinc's metal recovery rate to 98.5%.

Hindustan Zinc, in collaboration with VEXL Environ Projects Pvt Ltd, introduces new tech to boost metal recovery and achieve zero waste. CEO Arun Misra highlights sustainability goals.

The technology aims to increase zinc recovery from 97% to 98.5% and repurpose discharges for fertilizer and paint industries. This innovative solution, developed by an Indian company, marks a global first and aligns with sustainability targets.

The pilot project will take 15-16 months before scaling up, reducing reliance on fumers for zinc and silver recovery. VEXL Environ Projects specializes in environmental solutions.

Despite a slight dip in mined metal output for FY24, refined metal production remained stable. Silver production saw a notable increase. HZL shares rose amid the market downturn.
