Hindustan Zinc Launches Electric Bulker Fleet to Advance Green Logistics

Hindustan Zinc, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and a top-five global silver producer, has taken a major step towards sustainable logistics with the launch of a fleet of 40 Electric Vehicle (EV) Bulkers at its Zinc Smelter Debari in Udaipur. The fleet, deployed in collaboration with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility, will operate under an eight-year contract to transport calcine to the integrated zinc-lead smelter in Chittorgarh. The first 10 EV bulkers have already been deployed, with the remainder scheduled for roll-out in the coming months.

The initiative reinforces Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050 or sooner. Building on its existing LNG and battery-powered fleet, renewable energy integration, and energy-efficiency measures, the EV fleet is expected to significantly reduce logistics-related carbon emissions while enhancing safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, 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 reduce our carbon footprint while unlocking operational efficiency, workforce safety, and long-term value—aligned with our vision of decarbonising operations and enabling India’s green industrial growth.”

On the same day, Hindustan Zinc signed an MoU with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility to deploy electric buses for employee transportation at Debari, further reducing Scope 3 emissions and promoting a sustainable commute.

Praveen Somani, CEO of Enviiiro Wheels Mobility, added, “Hindustan Zinc’s initiative is a pivotal moment in India’s manufacturing landscape. Our green logistics solutions are key to advancing sustainability objectives, and we are proud to support Hindustan Zinc in deploying 40 additional electric bulkers.”

Hindustan Zinc continues to lead in sustainable industrial practices through renewable energy adoption, energy efficiency projects, and decarbonisation initiatives. The company recently became the first Indian metals and mining company to secure validated Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets aligned with the 1.5°C global warming threshold and joined the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) 2025. Recognised among the Top 1 per cent in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, Hindustan Zinc sets industry benchmarks in environmental stewardship while contributing to India’s low-carbon, future-ready industrial ecosystem.
