“ WE HAVE CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVED OUR NUMBERS IN TERMS OF PRODUCTION VOLUME AND PROFIT ”
ARUN MISRA CEO & WHOLE TIME DIRECTOR , HINDUSTAN ZINC
The treatment of water is a key area , creating a circular approach to its mining operations , but also in providing clean water for use by local industries and communities . Misra says : “ We have put up sewage water treatment plants in Udaipur . We are carrying out the treatment of the entire sewage generated from Udaipur City and releasing about 30 % of treated water back to the river to maintain Ecological Flow for ensuring uninterrupted flow in the river and further usage by the community , whereas the remaining 70 % will be consumed by our own industry .”
Apart from its technology expansion , sustainable sourcing of goods and services — including renewable energy and the implementation of EV technology — its energy will be sourced from solar and wind power solutions , with excess energy stored for future use .
Beyond its mining and smelting remit , Hindustan Zinc will also look to support the development of Zinc-air batteries as Misra believes this is the next step in sustainable power storage — an industry that the mining firm will be heavily invested in .
