Hindustan Zinc Ltd, a Vedanta Group company, is targeting ₹2,000 crore in value delivery through AI-led industrial transformation with V-Spark DeepTech Ventures.
Announcing this at Zinnovation 2026, the company said the identified value pool is expected to come from productivity improvement, cost optimisation, asset reliability, energy efficiency, safety enhancement, improved recoveries and faster decision-making across Hindustan Zinc’s mines, smelters and allied operations. V-Spark will extend these next-gen use cases to the wider manufacturing industry that is ripe for AI-led enhancements.
A media statement said Zinnovation 2026 is a strategic technology showcase and AI pitch forum focused on accelerating transformation across mining, smelting and manufacturing operations.
Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Chairperson of Hindustan Zinc, said: “The future of manufacturing will be defined by our ability to scale with intelligence. At Hindustan Zinc, we are embedding technology directly into the core of our operations to prove that an industry traditionally defined by grit can be led by data. Zinnovation brings together global capability, entrepreneurial innovation and a scale that can deliver real impact on the ground. As we advance our HZL 2.0 vision, we are engineering a 21st-century metals enterprise that ensures our people work safely, our environmental footprint stays small, and our technology sets a global benchmark.”
