Millennium Post Delhi
|New Delhi 02October2025
UDAIPUR: Hindustan Zinc Limited has introduced night shifts for women employees at its Zinc Smelter Debari in Udaipur, Rajasthan. This unit, the country’s oldest zinc smelter, now joins several other Hindustan Zinc operations that have already adopted women’s backshift (2 pm-10 pm) and nightshift (10 pm-6 am) policies.
‘The initiative is part of the company’s broader diversity and inclusion agenda, which has helped it achieve a gender diversity ratio of 26% — among the highest in India’s metals, mining, and heavy engineering sectors. Hindustan Zinc said it is working with regulators to create opportunities and build workplaces “where diversity fuels innovation and inclusion drives growth”.
