Hindustan Zinc’s mined metal production rose by 9 percent to 2,21,000 tonnes in the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal (Q1FY22) on account of higher ore production largely at Rampura Agucha mines (RAM) and Zawar mines. The company's mined metal output was at 2,02,000 tonnes in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
In comparison to Q4 of FY'21, the mined metal production decreased by 23 percent, mainly due to lower ore production at Sindesar Khurd (SK) and RAM due to operators' absenteeism in April and May in view of the second wave of COVID-19. The integrated metal production in the first quarter was 2,36,000 tonnes, up 17 per cent when compared to Q1 FY'21 in line with higher availability of mined metal. Integrated zinc production was 1,88,000 tonnes, up 20 per cent when compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
Hindustan Zinc, the world’s second biggest zinc producer, operates the world’s third largest open-pit mine, and world’s largest Zinc Mine in Rampura Agucha, Rajasthan.
