Zinc City

Udaipur’s captivating blend of rich heritage, culture and mineral deposits has long been a major attraction for backpackers, tourists and visitors alike. Nestled amidst picturesque lakes and majestic mountains, Udaipur boasts a mining history spanning over 2,000 years with Zinc, affectionately known by all tourists and locals as Zinc City.

With mines to the south and the smelter to the east in the city, Udaipur is renowned as Zinc City. In 2002, with Vedanta’s acquisition of Hindustan Zinc, its production capacity soared, playing a pivotal role in accelerating Udaipur’s holistic growth. As a cornerstone of the socio-economic landscape, Hindustan Zinc has not only generated employment opportunities but has also contributed to the development of contemporary commercial hubs, enticing shopping malls and elevated rooftop cafes nestled amidst regal heritage forts.

Through our commitment to sustainable development, Udaipur has become synonymous with Zinc City, driving socio-economic transformation and fostering a vibrant community spirit. Our collaborative efforts form the bedrock of our identity, fuelled by strategic partnerships, enabling us to promote art & culture, empower local communities, implement best-in-class people practices and fuel sustainable business growth.

Zinc City embodies the perfect synergy of tradition and modernity.
