Hindustan Zinc’s Board has approved the establishment of India’s first zinc tailings reprocessing plant at Rampura Agucha, Bhilwara district, Rajasthan. Tailings are the finely ground remnants left after mineral extraction. While these are considered as waste, they have plenty of residual metals and minerals which are difficult to extract. This state-of-the-art facility will extract metals like zinc and silver from previously processed tailings transforming what was once considered waste, into valuable resources. 

This development comes as part of the company’s plan to double its production capacity. The new plant, with a capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), will be developed with an investment up to Rs 3,823 crore and is targeted for completion within 28 months from the zero date. By reprocessing tailings at Rampura Agucha Mine (the world’s largest underground zinc mining operations), Hindustan Zinc is set to reuse industrial by-products to generate value and promote resource efficiency. This initiative will support improved sustainability and contribute significantly to the circular economy. 

Hindustan Zinc is engaged in the mining and smelting of zinc, lead and silver metal in India.
