Hindustan Zinc raises renewable power share to 22 per cent

Hindustan Zinc has increased the share of renewable energy in its overall power consumption to 22 per cent, up from around 18 per cent in FY26, as it advances towards sourcing 70 per cent of its power requirements from renewable sources by FY28.

During FY26, the company generated 892 million units of green power, up from 632 million units in FY25. It has also expanded its round-the-clock renewable power arrangement with Serentica Renewables from 450 MW to 530 MW to support the transition.

Hindustan Zinc is strengthening its renewable energy portfolio through solar, wind and energy storage solutions. Other initiatives include upgrading power connectivity from the state transmission network to the central transmission utility, improving waste heat recovery boiler steam turbine efficiency and deploying floating solar installations on water ponds.

Amarendu Prakash, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said the company’s transition to renewable power is aimed at building a more resilient and competitive business while reducing its environmental footprint.

The clean energy initiatives support Hindustan Zinc’s SBTi-validated pathway towards achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. The company said renewable power will remain central to its strategy as it advances towards a multi-metal business.
