18 Nov 2025 CW Team

Hindustan Zinc has been officially confirmed as the successful bidder for a tungsten and associated mineral block in Andhra Pradesh, after receiving the composite licence from the State Government. The approval strengthens the company’s strategy to expand beyond zinc, lead and silver into critical, high-value minerals vital for advanced manufacturing.

Earlier this year, the company was declared the preferred bidder through a competitive auction conducted by the Union Government. With statutory clearances and documentation now completed, the formal grant of the licence marks a major step in Hindustan Zinc’s plan to build a broader multi-metal portfolio and enhance its exploration footprint across India.

Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “We are pleased to be officially announced as the successful bidder for the tungsten block in Andhra Pradesh. The successful completion of this process reflects our unwavering commitment to responsible exploration, technological excellence and long-term value creation for all stakeholders. This milestone marks another step forward in Hindustan Zinc’s journey of expanding its mineral footprint and contributing to the nation’s self-reliance in critical and strategic minerals. As we progress on this path, Hindustan Zinc will continue to explore and develop the metals and minerals that India needs to become truly self-sufficient and future-ready.”

The acquisition further strengthens Hindustan Zinc’s mineral resource base and aligns its growth agenda with the country’s push to develop a globally competitive critical minerals ecosystem. The development marks another milestone in the company’s journey towards sustainable and responsible expansion.
