Hindustan Zinc has announced that its Rampura Agucha Mine has become India’s first Zinc Mark certified mine.
The Rampura Agucha Mine is also the world’s largest underground zinc-lead mine. The certification highlights the company’s focus on responsible mining, sustainability, and transparent production practices.
Zinc Mark is a globally recognised certification framework that validates responsible zinc production.
The certification checks whether companies follow international Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, responsible sourcing practices, and supply chain transparency.
The recognition was granted after an independent third-party assessment conducted under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework.
The latest certification strengthens Hindustan Zinc’s efforts to build a fully responsible zinc production chain from mining to smelting.
Earlier, the company’s Chanderiya Smelting Complex had also received Zinc Mark certification. With both facilities certified, Hindustan Zinc has become the first company in India to provide responsibly sourced zinc across the production chain.
The certification comes at a time when global industries are increasingly focusing on sustainable and traceable raw materials.
Customers across sectors such as steel, infrastructure, automobiles, renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing are now prioritising metals produced through responsible and low-carbon processes.
The certification is expected to improve customer confidence and strengthen Hindustan Zinc’s position in ESG-focused global markets.
Speaking on the milestone, Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, said the certification reflects the company’s strong commitment to responsible production and ESG excellence.
He added that global customers are increasingly seeking responsibly sourced metals that align with sustainability goals and compliance standards.
Hindustan Zinc said it is continuing to expand Zinc Mark certification across its operations.
The company is also focusing on:
The company aims to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.

The company supplies products to over 40 countries and holds around 74% share of India’s primary zinc market.
It was also recognised as the world’s most sustainable metals and mining company in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025 for the third consecutive year.
