The company’s exhibit featured London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)-certified silver bars of 30 kg and 1 kg purity (99.99%), along with galena ore samples from its Sindesar Khurd Mine in Rajasthan—ranked among the top five silver-producing mines worldwide.
The conference commenced with a keynote address by Arun Misra, Chief Executive Officer of Hindustan Zinc, who outlined the resilience of silver demand and the company’s role in advancing clean energy infrastructure.
