Agarwal also noted that under his leadership and their long-standing partnership, the government's emphasis on mineral exploration, value addition, research and development, and innovation would lead to a significant chapter in the state's legacy. The company indicated that under Vedanta's leadership, Hindustan Zinc's market capitalization has increased more than 400 times since its disinvestment in 2002, growing from about $100 million to about $34 billion. Cairn Oil & Gas, another part of the Vedanta Group, contributes 25% of the country's domestic crude production, with a significant portion coming from its operations in Barmer, Rajasthan.
