Hindustan Zinc Limited (NSE: HINDZINC), a Vedanta Group company, is the world's largest integrated zinc producer and the world's third largest silver producer. The company has ordered a fleet of mine trucks as well as rigs for face drilling and production drilling. The equipment will be used at Hindustan Zinc's technologically advanced operations across the state of Rajasthan in northwestern India, namely Rampura Agucha, Sindesar Khurd, Zawar, Kayad and Rajpura Dariba.
The equipment order is valued at about MSEK 280 and was booked in the first quarter 2025. In addition, the equipment is backed up by a full service and maintenance contract for a period of six to eight years.

"Epiroc's partnership with Hindustan Zinc in India goes a long way and with this new order it deepens the collaboration even further, fueled by innovation from both sides," adds Arunkumar Govindarajan, President for Epiroc India. "We thank Hindustan Zinc for the trust shown in Epiroc. Half of the machines in this order will be delivered from Epiroc's manufacturing facility in Nashik, supporting the country's "Make in India" efforts."
