Dear shareholders, members of the board, colleagues and the entire Hindustan Zinc family, it is my privilege to welcome you to the 60thAnnual General Meeting of Hindustan Zinc Limited. - The world around us is changing faster than at any point in history. As we all know, geopolitics is being reshaped, supply chains are being redrawn, artificial intelligence is transforming industries, the global energy transition is accelerating. Behind every one of these shifts lies something fundamental – natural resources. The technologies of tomorrow cannot exist without the minerals that power them. An EV requires 6 times more minerals than a conventional car. The global market for energy transition minerals is projected to be more than double from where it stands today, to 770 billion by 2040. And countries today are no longer thinking about cost and efficiency, they are thinking about security, reliability and access. They are asking not simply who can supply, but who can supply responsibly, consistently and at scale. - For India, this moment is especially significant. As our economy grows and manufacturing expands, securing critical resources is becoming our strategic priority. Our mining sector contributes approximately 2.5% to natural GDP and supports millions of direct and indirect jobs. India has built real strength across the sector, ranking among the top 10 global producers of zinc, bauxite, iron ore, aluminium and manganese. Even the next frontier - lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, the building blocks of clean energy and advanced technology, is where we also need to continue focus. The government estimates that even by 2031, domestic production will meet only around 10% of the national annual demand for these critical minerals. That gap is not a limitation, it is an opportunity. And closing it is now a national priority. Building domestic capabilities in critical minerals will be central to India's long-term growth story. - And this is where Hindustan Zinc's role is evolving. Reducing this dependence on imports and building domestic capabilities will be central to India's long-term growth history. When the world changes profoundly, standing still is not an option. Our ambition is no longer simply to be the world's leading integrated zinc producer. Our ambition is to become a future-ready energy transition company. Building strength across multiple metals that support India's industrial growth and strengthen global supply chains. Our recent success in securing blocks for tungsten, potash, rare earth elements and halite make the beginning of that journey. It is a long-term strategy, it requires patience, it requires conviction. And we believe it is the right path for both our company and the country. The same philosophy underpins our Zinc Park initiative. Through partnerships with Tripura Group and CMR Green Energies, we are creating India's first integrated zinc manufacturing ecosystem. Bringing MSMEs into the value chain, creating livelihoods and supporting India's manufacturing ambitions. - But strategy means little without execution. I am proud to say that this year once again demonstrated the strength of Hindustan Zinc's performance. We delivered our highest ever mined metal production of more than 1.1 million tonnes and our second highest refined metal production of approximately 1.05 million t [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
