• 40 new Electric Bulker Trucks deployed in partnership with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility Pvt. Ltd.
• Expected reduction in carbon emissions, improved safety
• Additionally, signed an MoU for the deployment of Electric Buses to reduce Scope 3 emissions

Udaipur, 8th October 2025: Hindustan Zinc Limited (NSE: HINDZINC), the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top five global silver producers, has taken a major step towards sustainable logistics by introducing a fleet of 40 Electric Vehicle (EV) Bulkers at its Zinc Smelter Debari in #ZincCity – Udaipur. Deployed in collaboration with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility Pvt. Ltd., these bulkers will operate under a long-term 8-year contract to transport calcine (a sand-like by-product of the roasting process) from Zinc Smelter Debari to the world’s largest single-location integrated zinc-lead smelter in Chittorgarh. The first batch of 10 EV bulkers has been successfully deployed, with the remaining units scheduled to be rolled out in the coming months.

The initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards clean mobility, reinforcing its commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 or sooner. Building on its existing fleet of LNG and battery-powered trucks, renewable energy integration, and advanced energy-efficiency measures, the company’s new EV fleet is set to further reduce logistics-related carbon emissions. This transition will not only enhance fleet availability but also drive greater safety, reliability, and efficiency across the company’s operations.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc Limited, said “We are embedding sustainability into the core of our logistics strategy to build an ecosystem that is clean, connected, and future ready. These electric mobility solutions are not just reducing our carbon footprint, but also unlocking operational efficiency, workforce safety, and long-term value – all aligned with our broader vision of decarbonising operations and enabling India’s green industrial growth.”

Strengthening its green mobility initiative, Hindustan Zinc also entered into a new MoU with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility on the same day to deploy electric buses for employee transportation at Zinc Smelter Debari. This shift from conventional diesel-powered buses to electric alternatives will help further reduce Scope 3 emissions while ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable commute for its workforce.

Commenting on this milestone, Mr. Praveen Somani, CEO, Enviiiro Wheels Mobility Pvt Ltd, said, “Hindustan Zinc’s groundbreaking endeavour marks a pivotal moment in India’s manufacturing landscape. We stand committed to Hindustan Zinc’s vision of decarbonisation and believe that our green logistics solutions are instrumental to advancing India’s sustainability objectives. As part of our ongoing commitment with Hindustan Zinc, we’re proud to deploy 40 additional electric bulkers for Vedanta. We firmly believe that clean and eco-friendly mobility solutions will play a pivotal role in aiding industries to attain their sustainability goals”.

Hindustan Zinc continues to make significant strides and lead by example in the industry. To mitigate its carbon footprint, Hindustan Zinc is increasing the proportion of renewable energy in its energy mix and improving its operational efficiency. For instance, the company has signed a 530 MW round-the-clock renewable energy power delivery agreement and has commenced the first flow of renewable energy in last fiscal. Hindustan Zinc has also made significant investments in innovative projects for energy efficiency, such as revamping of turbines at captive power plants, enhancements in cellhouse efficiencies, variable frequency drives installation, and the shift from conventional fuels to cleaner alternatives.

Hindustan Zinc recently became the first Indian company to join the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) 2025. Notably, it is also the first Indian company in the metals & mining sector to secure validated Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets, aligning with the ambitious 1.5°C global warming threshold. The company is also recognized among Top 1% in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the second consecutive year and among the top 66 companies across 62 industry sectors globally. With initiatives like these, Hindustan Zinc continues to set benchmarks in sustainable industrial practices, reinforcing its role as a catalyst in India’s journey towards a low-carbon, self-reliant, and future-ready economy.
