Hindustan Zinc (HZL), part of Vedanta Group, is investing USD 15 million (Rs 107 crore) for high-end digitisation at its mines.
The high-end digitisation of mines will bring down the cost of production by 10 percent directly as it will help monitor the health of machines deployed underground on several parameters.
The company has currently laid the WiFi network at two of its mines -- Sindesar Khurd and Rampura Agucha in Rajasthan-- with about 60-70 percent of work completed.
