Mined metal production at Zinc India increased by 14 per cent to 2,52,000 tonnes due to higher ore production across all the mines and supported by better mill recovery.

It achieved 14 per cent rise in ore production to 1,40,000 tonnes in the Q1 FY23, over the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal.
