'Self-reliance In Major Minerals Is Our Goal'
Sunil Duggal, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, has a personal and corporate vision for his company. His personal goals include mining with maximised productivity, and zero harm through the use of technology. At one of the mines, the aim is to develop end-to-end solution for complete automation. At a corporate level, he wishes to take the company to a sustainable 1.5 mt metal and 1,000 mt silver in the near future. The country has to become self-reliant in the case of major minerals and metals through a quantum jump in the mining contribution to overall GDP, growth, and development.

The corporate philosophy and vision are in sync with modern slavery acts with the fundamental belief that people everywhere deserve to live and work in safety and with dignity.
