Hindustan Zinc's Rampura Agucha Mine Receives India's First Zinc Mark Certification

Hindustan Zinc's Rampura Agucha Mine, the world's largest underground zinc-lead mine, has become India's first to receive Zinc Mark certification. This globally recognized assurance validates responsible zinc production based on international Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, responsible sourcing, and value chain transparency. The certification, awarded after an independent third-party assessment under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework, complements the company's recent Zinc Mark certification for its Chanderiya Smelting Complex, reinforcing its integrated approach to sustainable zinc production from mining to smelting.
