Planned Projects

In order to accomplish the mission of producing one million tonnes of metal by 2010, we have announced new projects (Phase III), post completion of which, we will become the largest integrated Zinc-Lead producer in the world having Zinc & Lead metal production capacity of 1064,000 tonnes per annum.

210,000 tonnes per annum Hydrometallurgical Zinc Smelter at Rajpura Dariba
100,000 tonnes per annum Lead Smelter at Rajpura Dariba
Rampura Agucha Mine expansion from 5.00 million tonnes per annum to 6.00 million tonnes per annum
Sindesar Khurd Mine expansion from 0.30 million tonnes per annum to 1.50 million tonnes per annum
