India's Zinc Industry — Hindustan Zinc
India is the world's third-largest zinc producer, with Hindustan Zinc Limited (a Vedanta Group company) operating the world's largest integrated zinc-lead mine and smelter complex in Rajasthan. Hindustan Zinc is consistently ranked among the world's lowest cost zinc producers with a fully integrated mine-to-refined metal operation.
Hindustan Zinc produces LME-registered SHG zinc (99.99% Zn) and Special High Grade Lead (99.97% Pb) that are exported globally and regularly deliver against LME futures contracts. The LME registration is the global quality guarantee for refined zinc — ensuring buyers receive consistently pure metal meeting international standards.

Zinc Applications
Galvanising — The dominant use of zinc globally (approximately 50% of consumption). Hot-dip galvanising of structural steel provides long-term cathodic corrosion protection — a zinc coating of 85 um gives 50+ years protection in urban environments.
Die Casting — Zinc die casting alloys (Zamak, ZA series) are used for automotive, hardware, consumer electronics and decorative components. Zinc's low melting point (420 deg C) and excellent fluidity enable thin-wall, high-precision die castings.
Brass Production — Alloyed with copper to produce brass (70:30 to 60:40 Cu:Zn). Used in plumbing fittings, electrical connectors, valves and decorative hardware.
Chemical — Zinc oxide, zinc sulfate and zinc chloride for rubber vulcanisation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and water treatment.

Pricing and Market
Zinc is priced on the LME — quoted as LME cash settlement plus a physical premium. Hindustan Zinc metal typically trades at a small premium to standard LME zinc due to brand recognition and consistent quality. Pricing is transparent and market-linked with no hidden costs.
