Priya Agarwal Hebbar is the Chairperson of Hindustan Zinc Limited, India’s largest and world’s
2nd largest integrated Zinc producer and is also the Non-Executive Director at Vedanta Ltd,
world's leading natural resources conglomerate.
As Chairperson HZL, Priya has been key in leading a robust growth plan for the organisation.
Under her leadership HZL reported a record-breaking year surpassing production of 1 million
tonne of refined metal. Given the push from Priya on investing in world class technology for
maximum metal recovery, and digitization of the mining and smelting operations – HZL achieved
highest-ever mined metal production in the first quarter of 2023 at 257kt.
Further, as part of Priya’s vision to reduce import dependency of silver, used heavily in the
production of medical equipment and solar panels, HZL is establishing a best-in-class Fumer to
extract maximum metal content through which the organisation will be able to produce additional
silver in Hydro 2 plant.
