Boosting Efficiency with AI
Hindustan Zinc (HZL) plans to create ₹2,000 crore in value by using AI widely across its mining and manufacturing. This move shows a key industry trend as mining and metals companies increasingly use digital tech to manage rising costs and tight margins.
Collaboration and Future Vision
HZL announced its value target at 'Zinnovation 2026,' an event on tech advancements held with V-Spark DeepTech Ventures. The company noted that platforms like V-Spark are key to advancing smart manufacturing, especially in heavy industries, metals, and mining.
"The future of manufacturing will be defined by our ability to scale with intelligence," said HZL Chairperson Priya Agarwal Hebbar. "At Hindustan Zinc, we are integrating technology directly into our operations to show that an industry traditionally defined by grit can be led by data."
Akarsh Hebbar, Chairman of V-Spark DeepTech Ventures, highlighted the importance of AI and collaboration. "Through V-Spark DeepTech Ventures, we are building a platform that connects startups, technology leaders, and operating businesses to solve critical industrial challenges at scale," he stated. As the world's largest integrated zinc producer and a major global silver producer, Hindustan Zinc's adoption of AI marks a strategic shift towards data-led leadership.
