Kundan Minerals & Metals Limited, a flagship company of the Kundan Group, is a leader in extracting, refining, minting, and manufacturing of minerals and metals drawing on its heritage of excellence since 1971.
A long established leader in end-to-end procurement, refining and processing of precious metals, Kundan is especially regarded for its exceptional standards in the purity and versatility of form in bullion, particularly gold and its state-of-the-art gold refinery which is Asia’s largest and accredited by India’s National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
As members of MCX and NCDEX, we uphold the highest standards of purity, quality, and consistency. Our cutting-edge refining technologies, supported by R&D and NABL-accredited practices, ensure superior results. Equally, as members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), we abide by the RJC Code of Practices for the jewellery supply chain. The Code addresses a wide range of supply chain issues, including business ethics, human rights, social and environmental performance.
Kundan Minerals & Metals is committed to making the best use of precious resources and reducing emissions. From mining precious metals at our dedicated mines in India to the import of Concentrates to creating Dore in-house, we are distinguished as one of the first plants in India to employ cyanide technology. We are one of the few to have this ability in-house to the trade of precious metals. Our extensive and resilient back-end integration means that we are not dependent for mission critical aspects of business.
Our value chains are reinforced by stable and time-tested partnerships with suppliers, vendors and logistics partners globally. At each stage of our operating dynamics we ensure optimal engineering efficiencies (to lower CAPEX and OPEX). Fiscal prudence ensures that our projects are on budget, on schedule. Increasingly, our people are led by digital guidance as they upgrade to better situational awareness and skills through experiential learnings. Our asset reliability, efficiency and safety are ensured through this and increased operational efficiency with materials, yields, energy and quality.
Furthermore, we are on course to designing and implementing predictive maintenance strategies which extend asset lifecycle. We leverage master data management with short interval controls. Our focus on enhanced agility and optimized planning balances our supply-demand ratios. And we complement this by ore forecasts from mine to processing for maximum recoveries.
We recognize that minerals and metals are vital to modern life-from agriculture and healthcare to technology and sustainable energy. Committed to innovation and sustainability, we employ efficient extraction methods, reducing energy and water usage while minimizing our environmental footprint.
