“Hindustan Zinc delivered best-ever 9 months refined metal on the back of
highest ever mined metal. In FY22, we reached the one million tonne mined metal landmark, and this year with the
current run-rate, we are confident of achieving the one million tonne refined
metal mark and are fully geared to deliver another stellar annual performance.
Reaching this milestone in FY23 along with a resilient pipeline of projects
will bring us closer to our vision of 1.2 million tonne mined metal in coming
years.
On
the sustainability front, I am pleased to share that Hindustan Zinc is now in
the top 3 sustainable companies in metal & mining sector as rated in
S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment which is a testimony to our
efforts and to the multiple initiatives that we are pursuing to achieve net
zero by 2050. In this journey, our focus is to reduce dependance on thermal
coal in near term through right investments in renewable projects.”
Mr Sandeep Modi, Deputy
& Interim CFO, said:
“We delivered a strong operational & financial performance with yet another
landmark of record 9 months Revenue, EBITDA and PAT, delivering a robust EBITDA
margin of 52% despite heightened volatility in commodity prices on account of
global macroeconomic environment. The consolidated quarterly performance was a
blend of operational efficiencies impacted by input commodity inflation. With
softening of coal cost and ongoing structured cost optimization plan targeted
with operational efficiencies, we are confident to deliver yet another stellar
financial performance and continue to maintain our cost leadership in global
cost curve. With our continuing efforts to expand our Renewable Power
investments and with current tie ups of up to 450MW, we foresee a better cost
predictability and improved cost structure.”
