Udaipur, December 2, 2025 (Daily Kiran): Hindustan Zinc Limited, India’s only and the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, today reaffirmed the strategic importance of its membership with the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM). As the only Indian company among the 26 selected global mining and metals leaders of ICMM, Hindustan Zinc represents India at the highest level of international dialogue on responsible mineral development.
This development comes at a crucial time when the global demand for critical minerals such as zinc and silver is rising rapidly due to the expansion of renewable energy systems, green infrastructure, electric mobility, and advanced digital technologies.
Chairperson of Hindustan Zinc, Priya Agarwal, said that India is moving into a decisive decade for critical minerals, and the company is proud to support the country’s global vision by setting benchmarks for responsible mining. She stated that the partnership with ICMM will strengthen India’s progress in the critical minerals sector and further reinforce the company’s commitment to sustainable operations and the nation’s clean energy transition.
The ICMM membership of Hindustan Zinc is not limited to fulfilling global requirements alone. It reflects how the world sources, processes, and governs critical minerals essential for clean energy and future-ready industries. The company’s long-standing focus on decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, circularity-driven operations, and community development has been a key factor in achieving this global recognition. Hindustan Zinc actively supports EITI and remains committed to ethical practices and transparent public disclosure. It has also taken steps to align with the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
By aligning with ICMM’s mining principles and sustainability expectations, Hindustan Zinc is strengthening its vision of building a robust and globally competitive mining ecosystem that safeguards natural and social capital while advancing India’s economic goals. As global industries increasingly seek responsible and transparent supply chains for critical minerals, the company’s membership aims to further enhance India’s leadership role in the global critical-minerals landscape.
