Hindustan Zinc has entered into a pact with Swedish mining gear maker Epiroc's India arm to explore the possibility of introducing electric vehicles in underground mining. The move will assist in reducing carbon emissions, enabling the mine operations to become more environment-friendly. It is imperative for any partnership to share same values to be successful, and both Hindustan Zinc as well as Epiroc India share the values of safety, sustainability, innovation and technology in running operations.
Hindustan Zinc, the world’s second biggest zinc producer, operates the world’s third largest open-pit mine, and world’s largest Zinc Mine in Rampura Agucha, Rajasthan.
