The board of Hindustan Zinc (HZL) at its meeting held on 18 August 2025 has approved setting up of a 10 MTPA Tailings Reprocessing plant as part of the Company's overall 2X growth plan (i.e. doubling the capacity). The Tailings reprocessing plant, at a capital expenditure of up to Rs 3823 crore aims to recover metal from the tailing dumps. This one-of-a-kind plant, a first in India, will enable reduction of environmental footprint associated with traditional wet tailings disposal, enhance HZL's overall mineral recovery and usher in improved sustainability.
