Hindustan Zinc Limited is set to venture into potash mining in Rajasthan, in a bid to lessen India’s dependence on potash imports. The move marks a strategic shift for the company, known for its operations in zinc, lead, and silver. In addition to potash, Hindustan Zinc has also made inroads into other critical minerals, having recently secured a gold block in Rajasthan and a tungsten block in Andhra Pradesh. The company’s decision to diversify its mineral portfolio comes on the heels of reporting a substantial increase in net profit. This expansion into potash mining underscores Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to bolstering India’s self-sufficiency in key minerals and reducing the nation’s reliance on imports.
