This year saw us accomplish the superlative milestone of crossing 1 million

Hindustan Zinc also flagged off India’s first Battery Electric Vehicle in

Hindustan Zinc surpassed its own records by delivering bestever financial
performance, recording its highest ever annual revenue, EBITDA and PAT. This

resilience and dynamism in decision making which enabled us to achieve the
annual guidance and generate record cash flows. We delivered the lowest
quarterly cost of this FY in Q4 and with our track record of strong and improving
performance, we are confident of delivering another stellar year.”
