Hindustan Zinc and Group Nirmal Partner to Establish Zinc Wire Facility in Rajasthan​

Hindustan Zinc Limited has partnered with Group Nirmal to set up a zinc wire manufacturing facility at the company's flagship Zinc Industrial Park located in Khankhala, Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. This collaboration aims to strengthen Hindustan Zinc’s downstream manufacturing ecosystem by enhancing the production of value-added zinc applications.

The agreement specifies that Group Nirmal will manufacture zinc wire products using Hindustan Zinc’s Special High Grade (SHG) zinc. The resultant products are set to cater to diverse sectors including infrastructure, renewable energy, automotive, and industrial engineering.

Zinc wire is described as a critical input for thermal spray coating and metallizing processes. In these applications, the wire is melted and sprayed onto steel surfaces to create a protective zinc coating. This process delivers durable anti-corrosion protection to vital steel structures and assets. These assets include bridges, transmission towers, railways, ports, pipelines, and industrial installations that are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions.

Strengthening Downstream Zinc Ecosystem​

The establishment of the Zinc Wire facility expands the downstream manufacturing activity within the Zinc Industrial Park. This initiative supports an integrated, raw material-led industrial model designed to bolster the usage of zinc in high-value applications. By providing superior anti-corrosion properties, zinc-based thermal spray coatings significantly extend the lifespan of steel structures, improve asset reliability, and reduce lifecycle maintenance costs.

Arun Misra, CEO & Whole-time Director of Hindustan Zinc, commented on the partnership, stating, "Zinc Park is a strategic initiative that reflects our long-term vision of creating a globally competitive and sustainable downstream ecosystem for zinc-based industries in India. Our partnership with Group Nirmal highlights the growing industry confidence in this transformative platform."

Misra further noted that the collaboration, supported by strong industry collaborations and renewable energy integration, aims to drive innovation, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and create long-term industrial value, particularly in corrosion protection and infrastructure longevity.

The Zinc Industrial Park, developed in collaboration with RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation), is positioned as a dedicated downstream manufacturing hub. It is designed to integrate raw material availability with value-added zinc production. The location is strategically situated near Hindustan Zinc's core metal operations.

Market Implications and Growth Areas​

The venture is expected to strengthen domestic supply chains and attract investments across galvanizing, diecasting, zinc alloys, zinc oxide, battery materials, and advanced zinc applications. This supports regional economic development in Rajasthan and provides vital materials for India's continued infrastructure investments in renewable energy, transportation, and urban development.

Hindustan Zinc Limited, recognized globally as the world's largest integrated zinc producer and a top ten global silver producer, supplies to more than 40 countries and holds a market share of approximately 74% of the primary zinc market in India.

The company has committed itself to sustainable practices, becoming the world's most sustainable company in the metals and mining category for the third consecutive year by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025. Hindustan Zinc is also committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner and launched EcoZen, Asia's first low carbon 'green' zinc brand, produced using renewable energy.
