Udaipur, 26 November 2025 (Daily Kiran). India’s only and the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, and among the world’s top five silver producers, Hindustan Zinc Limited is celebrating World Quality Month with the theme “Think Differently,” reflecting its continued commitment to innovation, data-driven decision-making and operational excellence across its value chain.
Taking this focus forward, Hindustan Zinc’s product “Zinc Base Alloy Ingots for Die Casting, Grade ZN AI 4” has received permission to use the Standard Mark from the Bureau of Indian Standards as per IS 713:198. This BIS certification strengthens the product’s market credibility, regulatory compliance and customer confidence, and further reinforces the company’s vision of delivering globally benchmarked, high-assurance products.
The company has moved beyond the traditional 12-step framework and introduced an Agile Quality Circle. This modern and flexible approach empowers teams to select the most effective combination of quality tools based on specific challenges, enhancing employee participation, engagement and critical thinking, while also accelerating decision-making and solution delivery through creative problem-solving.
The Agile Quality Circle seamlessly integrates with Hindustan Zinc’s strong quality ecosystem, built on seven core pillars — Supplier Quality Management, Customer Management, Integrated Quality Management, Continuous Improvement, Leadership Involvement, Skill Development and Results Mapping. Strengthening this ecosystem is the company’s fully digital Laboratory Information Management System, which ensures end-to-end transparency, traceability and complete data accuracy across quality assurance workflows.
Commenting on the initiative, Hindustan Zinc Limited CEO Arun Mishra said that quality at Hindustan Zinc is deeply embedded in its culture of curiosity and continuous improvement. With the “Think Differently” theme and the launch of Agile Quality Circles, the company is encouraging its people to challenge conventional approaches and innovate with confidence. He added that the BIS certification further validates the strength of the company’s quality systems and helps set new benchmarks in operational excellence while delivering world-class products.
As the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, Hindustan Zinc continues to set global benchmarks in product reliability, responsible sourcing and sustainability. Its products are registered with the London Metal Exchange and the London Bullion Market Association, assuring global buyers of purity and consistency, including 99.99 percent pure silver. The company also holds REACH certification, enabling exports to all 27 EU member countries, and has achieved MCH International verification for its large zinc portfolio, one of the biggest in the world. With the launch of its low-carbon zinc brand, EcoZen, the company is further strengthening its commitment to a more sustainable future through the supply of high-quality, responsibly produced metals.
Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to quality is reflected in its zinc, lead and silver products, which consistently meet global standards. As the sole Indian member of the prestigious ICMM, the company is part of a select group of global mining leaders committed to the highest standards of ethics, safety and sustainable development. It maintains a robust compliance framework supported by ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 NABL accreditation and BIS certifications. Through these initiatives, Hindustan Zinc continues to strengthen its position as an industry leader in quality, innovation and sustainable operations.
