  Hindustan Zinc’s mines are located at Rampura Agucha, Sindesar Khurd, Rajpura Dariba, Zawar and Kayad in the state of Rajasthan.
--
  The current ore production capacity today stands at 12 million tonne per annum. The Company is aggressively expanding its mining capacities, implementing with six ongoing major mining projects.
  Rampura Agucha Mine, with the ore production capacity of 6.15 million tonne per annum, is the world’s 2nd largest Zinc-Lead mine with best-in-class Zinc-Lead reserves grade. The mine is currently operating through open-cast and underground routes.
--
  The Sindesar Khurd Mine, with the ore production capacity of 4.5 million tonne per annum, is a highly mechanised under-ground mine. As part of the on-going expansions, the ore production capacity is set to increase to 6 million tonne per annum in the coming years. Sindesar Khurd Mine expansion is expected to significantly contribute to the Company’s integrated Silver production.
--
  Zawar Mines comprises 4 different mines with footprints of ancient mining and has a combined ore production capacity of 4 million tonne per annum. As per the radio carbon dating, the mines at Zawar are over 2500 years old. The Company is on-course to expand Zawar Mines capacities to over 8.0 million tonne in the next five years through mechanisation and by switching-over to trackless mining. Zawar also has 80 MW of captive thermal power plant.
--
  Rajpura Dariba Mine is an underground mine and currently has ore production capacity of 0.9 million tonne per annum. The ore production capacity at Rajpura Dariba Mine is all set to increase to 1.2 million tonne per annum.
--
  Additionally, a new underground mine with fastest ramp-up has been opened up at Kayad, in the district of Ajmer and is scheduled to achieve its planned capacity of 1 million tonne within this year.
  The Company’s smelters are located at Chanderiya, Dariba and Debari in the state of Rajasthan and Zinc-Lead-Silver metal refineries at Pantnagar in the state of Uttarakhand. The Company’s Zinc, Lead and Silver metal production capacities have seen five-fold increase since disinvestment in 2002. The metal production capacity which was 204,000 tonne per annum in the year 2002 has grown to over 1.0 million tonne per annum.
--
  Chanderiya Smelting Complex, located in the district of Chittorgarh, is world’s second largest single location integrated Zinc smelting complex with Zinc production capacity of 535,000 tonne and Lead production capacity of 85,000 tonnes per annum. The location also has captive power plants of 234 MW. Additional green power is generated through waste heat recovery boilers. Dariba Smelting Complex, located in the district of Rajsamand, has production capacity of 220,000 tonne of Zinc and 116,000 tonne of Lead per annum.
--
  Dariba Smelting Complex is uniquely self-sufficient with Zinc smelter, Lead smelter and captive power plants of 160 MW, all located in the vicinity of Sindesar Khurd Mine and Rajpura Dariba Mine.
--
  India’s oldest Zinc smelter, located at Debari in the district of Udaipur, has Zinc metal production capacity of 88,000 tonne per annum.
--
  Zinc, Lead and Silver metal refinery at Pantnagar has a capacity to produce 600 tonnes of Silver per annum.
--
  The Company’s total metal production capacities currently stand at 843,000 tonne of Zinc, 201,000 tonnes per annum of Lead and 600 tonnes of Silver, which are all being de-bottlenecked to achieve smelting capacity of 1.2 million tonne per annum.

--Production
++In FY 2020, ore production was up 5% y-o-y to 14.5 million MT on account of strong production growth at Rampura Agucha and Zawar mines, which were up 18% and 14% respectively. The impact of operations shut-down related to COVID-19 on ore production was an estimated 0.5 million MT. Mined metal production for FY 2020 was 917kt compared to 936kt in the prior year on account of COVID-19 related lockdown and low grades at Sindesar Khurd in H1 and Kayad mines.{{footnote}}https://www.hzlindia.com/E-Annual-Report/pdf/HZL_IR_19_20.pdf{{/footnote}}

  Integrated metal production was down 3% to 870kt and silver production was lower by 10% to 610 MT due to COVID-19 related lockdown, lower lead production in Q2 & Q3 due to temporary operational issues and lower silver grades.
  The Company generated 3,880 million units of thermal based power in FY 2020 as compared to 3,961 million units in FY 2019. Total green power generation was 609.35 million units as compared to 451 million units in FY 2019.
--Sales
++**Sales**
++
  The refined zinc metal sales in the domestic market during the year was 486kt, while export sales accounted for 194kt as compared to 513kt and 181kt respectively a year ago. The aggregate sales were lower by 2% than previous year, in line with production. Lead metal sales in the domestic market were 157kt, while export sales were 23kt leading to lower aggregate sales of 9% from a year ago, in line with the decrease in lead metal production during the year. Silver sales were 586 MT in FY 2020, all in the domestic market and 13% lower than previous year.
--Revenue
++**Revenue**
++
  The Company reported ‘Revenue from operations’ including other operating income of Rs 18,561 Crore, a decrease of 12% y-o-y primarily on account of an average 12% decline in LME Zinc prices and lower volume, partly offset by higher silver prices and rupee depreciation. The ‘Other income’ was Rs 1,934 Crore during the year compared to Rs 1,782 Crore in the previous year on account of higher treasury income due to a higher investment corpus as well as higher rate of return on account of mark-to-market gains resulting from decline in interest rates.
--Production Cost
++**Production Cost**
++
  Zinc’s cost of production (COP), excluding royalty for FY 2020 was Rs 74,172 (US$1,047) per tonne, higher by 5% y-o-y (4% in US$). The COP increase reflects higher mine development expense, higher R&M expense, lower grades and volume, lower acid credits and higher cement prices, partly offset by lower coal costs, lower employee expense and digitisation led operational efficiency. The COP was impacted by higher electricity duty on captive power plants from Rs 0.40 to Rs 0.60 per unit starting July 2019.
--Operating margin
++**Operating margin**
++
  The above revenue and production cost resulted in profit before depreciation, interest and tax (PBDIT) of Rs 10,781 Crore in FY 2020, down 13% on account of lower revenue and higher cost of production.
--Net profit
++**Net profit**
++
  Net profit Net profit was Rs 6,805 Crore, down 14% on account of lower PBDIT and higher D&A expense partly offset lower tax rate due to one-time deferred tax reversal. Tax rate for the year was 18.9% as compared to 23.9% as in the previous year. The lower tax rate is on account of reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to prior years, amounting to Rs 365 Crore pursuant to Company’s expectation of moving to a lower tax regime under Section 115BBA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Excluding this one-time reversal, the effective tax rate for the year was 23.2%.

  Mined metal production for the quarter was up 15% y-o-y to 288kt on account of higher ore production, partly offset by lower overall grade. Sequentially, MIC production was up 18% on account of higher ore production and better overall grades. For the full year, MIC production was up 6% y-o-y to record 972 kt primarily on account of higher ore production partially offset by slightly lower grades. This was despite losing 18 days equivalent of production in the fiscal year 2021 due to lockdown and other workforce related restrictions to combat Covid-19.
  Sequentially, mined metal production was up 18% mainly on account of improvement in ore grades across mines. For the full year, mined metal production was 972kt, up 6% y-o-y primarily on account of higher ore production.
