40 new EV bulkers deployed in partnership with Enviiiro Wheels; MoU signed for electric buses to reduce emissions

Hindustan Zinc Limited (NSE: HINDZINC), the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, has taken a major step towards sustainable logistics with the deployment of 40 electric bulkers at its Zinc Smelter Debari in Udaipur. The fleet, introduced in collaboration with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility Pvt. Ltd., will transport calcine under an 8-year long-term contract to the Chittorgarh smelter, the world’s largest single-location integrated zinc-lead facility. The first batch of 10 EV bulkers is already operational, with the remaining units scheduled for rollout in the coming months.

“We are embedding sustainability into the core of our logistics strategy,” said Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc Limited. “These electric mobility solutions reduce our carbon footprint, enhance operational efficiency, and improve workforce safety, all aligned with our Net Zero 2050 vision.”

The company also signed an MoU to deploy electric buses for employee transportation at Zinc Smelter Debari, further reducing Scope 3 emissions and promoting cleaner commuting for staff.

“Hindustan Zinc’s initiative is a landmark in India’s manufacturing landscape,” said Praveen Somani, CEO, Enviiiro Wheels Mobility Pvt. Ltd. “Our EV solutions will support Hindustan Zinc in achieving its sustainability and decarbonisation goals.”

The EV fleet complements Hindustan Zinc’s existing LNG and battery-powered trucks, renewable energy integration, and energy-efficiency measures, reinforcing the company’s position as a pioneer in green industrial practices. Recent initiatives include a 530 MW round-the-clock renewable energy agreement, turbine upgrades, variable frequency drive installations, and shifts to cleaner fuels.

Hindustan Zinc has also achieved several sustainability milestones, including joining the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) 2025, securing Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validation, and being ranked in the Top 1% of the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the second consecutive year.

With these efforts, Hindustan Zinc is setting benchmarks in low-carbon industrial operations, driving India’s journey towards a sustainable, future-ready economy.
