Hindustan Zinc Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Group Nirmal to establish a state-of-the-art zinc wire manufacturing facility at its Zinc Industrial Park in Khankhala, Bhilwara, Rajasthan. This partnership marks a significant expansion in the company’s downstream manufacturing capabilities, focusing on high-value industrial applications and anti-corrosion solutions for critical infrastructure. The initiative aims to strengthen domestic supply chains and support sustainable economic development within the region.
Expanding Downstream Manufacturing
On May 12, 2026, Hindustan Zinc announced a strategic collaboration with Group Nirmal to set up a dedicated zinc wire production plant. This facility will be located within the company’s flagship Zinc Industrial Park, a hub developed in collaboration with the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO). The project is designed to integrate raw material availability with value-added production, creating a robust ecosystem for zinc-based industries.
Applications and Industry Impact
The manufacturing facility will utilize Hindustan Zinc’s Special High Grade (SHG) zinc to produce specialized wire products. These are essential for thermal spray coating and metallizing processes, which provide durable anti-corrosion protection for critical infrastructure, including bridges, transmission towers, railways, ports, and pipelines. By offering these protective solutions, the partnership aims to enhance structural longevity and reduce lifecycle maintenance costs for industrial assets.
Driving Regional Growth
The establishment of this facility is expected to boost industrial growth and employment in Rajasthan. The Zinc Park initiative, first unveiled at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit in December 2024, continues to attract key investor partnerships. Beyond zinc wire, the park is intended to foster investment across a broad spectrum of sectors, including galvanizing, die-casting, zinc alloys, zinc oxide, and battery materials, reinforcing Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to sustainability and circular economy principles.
