It is India\u2019s Zinc City. More than two thousand years ago, the region around Udaipur was already known for its rich zinc and lead deposits. When Hindustan Zinc was established in 1966, it built upon that legacy, transforming Udaipur from a quiet heritage city into the heart of India\u2019s zinc industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us read about the history of Hindustan Zinc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hindustan-zinc-history-from-zawar-s-mines-to-global-leadership\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hindustan_Zinc_History-_From_Zawars_Mines_to_Global_Leadership\"><\/span>Hindustan Zinc History- From Zawar\u2019s Mines to Global Leadership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zinc, the 24th most abundant element in the Earth\u2019s crust, has been part of India\u2019s industrial and cultural story for over two millennia. The earliest evidence of zinc mining can be traced to the ancient mines of Zawar, near Udaipur, Rajasthan, which remain among the oldest known zinc mines in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building on this deep-rooted legacy, <strong>Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL)<\/strong> was established in 1966 by the Government of India, taking over the assets of the Metal Corporation of India. Today, Hindustan Zinc stands as one of the world\u2019s largest producers of zinc and remains India\u2019s only fully integrated Zinc-Lead-Silver company. As of November 7, 2025, it is the fifth-largest company in the <strong>Nifty Metal Index <\/strong>based on market capitalisation.<br><br>The defining chapter in Hindustan Zinc\u2019s journey began in 2002, when UK-based <strong>Vedanta Resources<\/strong>, led by industrialist Anil Agarwal, took the helm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acquisition proved transformative by bringing in fresh capital, advanced technology, and a global outlook that reshaped the company\u2019s future. Often cited as one of India\u2019s most successful disinvestment stories, Vedanta\u2019s entry marked the start of a new era of accelerated growth, modernisation, and renewed purpose for Hindustan Zinc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move sparked debate at the time but proved to be a turning point for the company. With Vedanta\u2019s investment and updated technology, <strong>Hindustan Zinc<\/strong> began to improve its refining processes and started extracting more silver from its ore, helping it become a top global silver producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HZL has also made sustainability and ethical business a priority. The company is a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and has earned recognition as a leader in sustainable mining worldwide. Its operations cover Rajasthan\u2019s key mining districts, including Udaipur, Rajsamand, Bhilwara, and Ajmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1172\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hindustan Zinc Limited History\" class=\"wp-image-15670\" style=\"width:650px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-scaled.jpg 1172w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-137x300.jpg 137w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-469x1024.jpg 469w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-768x1678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-703x1536.jpg 703w, https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Hindustan-Zinc-Limited-History-937x2048.jpg 937w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hindustan Zinc Limited History<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hindustan-zinc-limited-yearly-milestones\">Hindustan Zinc Limited- Yearly Milestones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Year \/ Period<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Key Highlights<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Company Formation<\/td><td>1966<\/td><td>Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) was established as a public sector company, taking over assets from the Metal Corporation of India.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Disinvestment &amp; Acquisition<\/td><td>2001\u20132003<\/td><td>Government initiates disinvestment; Sterlite Opportunities and Ventures Limited (Vedanta Group) acquires controlling stake (64.92%).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stock Listing<\/td><td>2006<\/td><td>HZL was listed on the Indian stock exchanges on November 21.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Post-Privatization Growth<\/td><td>2003\u20132010<\/td><td>Rapid expansion and modernisation of mines and smelters, making it&nbsp; India\u2019s largest zinc producer.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Global Leadership<\/td><td>2010\u20132015<\/td><td>Strengthens position as the world\u2019s second-largest zinc producer and third-largest silver producer.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Financial Benchmarks<\/td><td>FY 2014<\/td><td>Revenue: \u20b913,636 crore; Net Profit: \u20b96,905 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>FY 2018<\/td><td>Revenue: \u20b922,082 crore; Net Profit: \u20b99,276 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>FY 2022<\/td><td>Revenue: \u20b929,440 crore; Net Profit: \u20b99,629 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>FY 2023<\/td><td>Record Revenue: \u20b934,098 crore; Net Profit: \u20b910,511 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>FY 2024<\/td><td>Revenue: \u20b928,934 crore; Net Profit: \u20b97,759 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>FY 2025<\/td><td>Revenue rebounds to \u20b933,845 crore; Net Profit: \u20b910,459 crore.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market Capitalization<\/td><td>2025<\/td><td>Market Cap: \u20b91.99 trillion \u2014 among India\u2019s largest metal companies and part of the global top 1000 by market cap.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Acquisitions &amp; Investments<\/td><td>Early 2000s<\/td><td>Vedanta\u2019s acquisition marks one of India\u2019s landmark PSU privatisations.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>2025<\/td><td>HZL partners with Aesir Tech for zinc battery solutions, entering green technology.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Expansion Initiatives<\/td><td>June 2024<\/td><td>Announces \u20b912,000 crore expansion to double capacity to 2+ million tonnes per year within five years.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Q1 FY26<\/td><td>Expansion work begins, including a new greenfield smelter.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>2025<\/td><td>Signs a power agreement to boost renewable energy sourcing to 530 MW.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>2025<\/td><td>Vedanta offloads ~\u20b93,027 crore stake as part of restructuring.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sustainability &amp; ESG<\/td><td>Ongoing<\/td><td>Leads in renewable energy adoption and sustainable mining, aligning operations with global ESG standards.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Hindustan_Zinc_Limited\"><\/span>About Hindustan Zinc Limited<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL), a subsidiary company of Vedanta Limited, is India\u2019s largest and the world\u2019s second-largest integrated zinc-lead producer.
