Hindustan Zinc and Tata Steel Partner to Scale Low-Carbon Zinc Solutions with EcoZen
Udaipur, 23rd March 2026: Hindustan Zinc Limited has strengthened its longstanding association with Tata Steel to expand the integration of EcoZen, its low-carbon zinc solution, into sustainable steel manufacturing.EcoZen, Asia's first low-carbon zinc, is produced using renewable energy and has a verified carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of zinc—approximately 75% lower than the global industry average. By significantly reducing emissions at the raw material stage, EcoZen enables downstream industries to meaningfully lower value-chain emissions and advance their decarbonization goals.
“EcoZen represents our vision to offer sustainable metal solutions that support the evolving needs of global manufacturing,” said Mr. Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc. “Our partnership with Tata Steel is a significant milestone in scaling up the adoption of low-carbon zinc and reinforcing greener supply chains across India's industrial ecosystem.”
Zinc plays a vital role in galvanizing steel to protect against corrosion and extend service life. Using low-carbon zinc has measurable downstream benefits. The adoption of EcoZen can help avoid approximately 400 kg of CO₂ emissions per tonne of steel galvanised, compared to conventional zinc.
“Tata Steel congratulates its strategic partner, Hindustan Zinc, on the delivery of Ecozen,” said Mr. Ranjan Sinha, Chief Procurement Officer, Tata Steel. “This collaboration underscores our shared commitments to sustainable practices and advancing green technologies amongst our supplier eco-system.”
Hindustan Zinc has been a strategic partner to Tata Steel for over two decades. The expanded engagement under the EcoZen initiative integrates decades of operational excellence with a proactive focus on decarbonization, sustainable practices, and responsible sourcing.
Through this collaboration, Hindustan Zinc and Tata Steel aim to support broader sustainability and climate commitments, advancing India's transition toward low-carbon industrial growth.
