Spread over 415 acres, the facility will entail an investment of Rs. 5000-Rs 10,000 crore in phases, create more than 5000 direct and indirect jobs and will be operational by 2022. The new facility - the first for Hindustan Zinc in the state of Gujarat - will be set up with zero discharge technology and will be among the lowest cost smelters in the world. Located in proximity with port and key markets of consumption, the new facility will produce Zinc and other minor metals. Anil Agarwal, Non-Executive Chairman and Founder, Vedanta Group, said, “Given the reputation of Gujarat as an industrial hub of the country, it is our pleasure to build our dream project in zinc here. With this facility, we will together take India to the map of most efficient producers of zinc in the world. We have set out on a path towards Hon'ble Prime Minister Modi's vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
