Hindustan Zinc Limited (NSE: HINDZINC), India’s only and the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, reaffirmed its commitment to climate action, reporting over 1 lakh GJ of energy savings and more than 20,000 tCO₂e reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in FY25 – figures being shared in conjunction with National Energy Conservation Day as the company highlights its ongoing energy-efficiency and decarbonisation efforts across its Rajasthan operations.
To put this into perspective, the energy saved by Hindustan Zinc in FY25, over 1 lakh GJ, is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of nearly 19,000 Indian households. This comparison is based on the Ministry of Power’s estimate that an average Indian home consumes around 1,538 kWh per year.
This equivalence reiterates the tangible impact of industrial energy efficiency on national energy security and everyday life.
Over the past years, the company has implemented a comprehensive set of interventions to improve energy performance, reduce its carbon footprint and accelerate a transition to clean energy. These measures included installation of variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and high-efficiency equipment, optimisation of smelting and process-heat systems, and AI-enabled digital monitoring for real-time energy control.
