India’s Hindustan Zinc tailings reprocessing plant will unlock new metal recovery. The 10mn t/yr facility will extract zinc and silver from tailings. Hindustan Zinc tailings reprocessing plant investment totals ₹38.23bn ($437mn). The project targets completion 28 months after kickoff. Therefore, Hindustan Zinc tailings reprocessing plant aims to support a doubling of capacity.
Reprocessing to Double Capacity and Cut Waste
HZL plans the country’s first large tailings reprocessor in Rajasthan. The plant will monetize historical waste while reducing environmental liabilities. Meanwhile, domestic zinc demand is rising across infrastructure and galvanizing. HZL produced 827,000t of refined zinc in the last fiscal year. Output rose 1% year over year despite market volatility. HZL holds 77% share of India’s zinc market. As a result, the project strengthens national supply security.
The Metalnomist Commentary
Tailings reprocessing upgrades India’s zinc value chain with circular economics. However, success hinges on metal recoveries and unit costs. Watch ramp timelines, silver credits, and concentrate quality to gauge returns.
