Hindustan Zinc Ltd. is targeting a major boost in output and accelerating plans to decarbonize its operations under Chairwoman Priya Agarwal Hebbar. The daughter of Anil Agarwal, the billionaire founder of Hindustan’s parent Vedanta Resources Ltd., Agarwal Hebbar will be steering the company through a period of expansion in which it will take advantage of a splurge of infrastructure building in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aim of greening the economy.
The producer of zinc, used to galvanize steel to prevent rusting, said last week that it wants to grow its annual mined metal output to 1.5 million tons, from around 1 million tons now.
