The captive usage of solar energy is one of our core focus areas at Hindustan Zinc. Solar rooftop projects with a capacity of 200 KW have already been installed at each of our head offices, including the Udaipur and Chanderiya lead zinc smelter. We have commissioned 16 MW solar power projects during FY 16-17 comprising of a 12 MW project at Debari Zinc Smelter. Additionally, a solar project with a capacity of 4 MW has also been commissioned at Rajpura Dariba mine for captive consumption. Whilst the 12 MW project at Debari Zinc Smelters happens to be the largest solar energy project in the Udaipur district; the 4 MW project at Rajpura Dariba mine is the first of its kind in the Rajasmand district of Rajasthan. In the next phase, we have planned to commission a 100 MW solar power plant in near future. These efforts are geared to help Hindustan Zinc establish a firm footing in the field of solar energy generation for energy efficiency.
