Hindustan Zinc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sulfozyme Agro India Pvt. Ltd. to establish operations at its flagship Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan. This partnership aims to advance sustainable metal recovery, resource efficiency, and innovation in India’s downstream zinc sector. Sulfozyme Agro will focus on processing zinc-based materials into value-added products, supported by Hindustan Zinc’s supply chain and infrastructure.
Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Growth
Hindustan Zinc Limited, a Vedanta Group company and a leading global producer of zinc, silver, and lead, announced a significant collaboration with Sulfozyme Agro India Pvt. Ltd. This partnership is a key part of Hindustan Zinc’s Zinc Industrial Park initiative, aimed at fostering sustainable metal recovery and enhancing the downstream zinc sector in India.
Advancing the Zinc Industrial Park
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed for Sulfozyme Agro to establish its operations within the Zinc Industrial Park, located at Khankhala in the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. This strategic move is designed to strengthen India’s downstream zinc capabilities through sustainable practices, improved resource efficiency, and innovation-led industrial development. The collaboration aligns with Hindustan Zinc’s vision to boost the MSME ecosystem, encourage local entrepreneurship, and drive industrial growth within Rajasthan.
Focus on Value Addition and Circular Economy
Under this agreement, Sulfozyme Agro will concentrate on processing zinc-based materials into value-added products suitable for industrial and downstream applications. Hindustan Zinc will provide crucial support through assured raw material linkage and long-term ecosystem support, ensuring efficient operations, integrated supply chains, and scalable manufacturing. This initiative is part of the broader Zinc Park proposal, which was first unveiled at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit in December 2024.
Rajasthan’s Manufacturing Hub Ambition
The Zinc Industrial Park, developed in collaboration with RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation), is envisioned as a dedicated downstream manufacturing hub. It aims to seamlessly integrate raw material availability with value-added zinc production. By offering ready-to-use infrastructure and proximity to raw material sources, the park seeks to attract zinc customers, processors, MSMEs, and downstream manufacturers looking for efficient production opportunities.
