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.”
