Hindustan Zinc And Group Nirmal To Set Up Zinc Wire Facility

14 May 2026 CW Team

Group Nirmal will produce zinc wire for sectors including infrastructure, renewable energy, automotive and industrial engineering, supporting thermal spray coating and metallising processes. In these processes zinc is melted and sprayed onto steel to form a protective coating that enhances corrosion resistance for bridges, transmission towers, railways, ports, pipelines and industrial installations. The release said such coatings extend structural longevity, improve operational reliability and reduce life?cycle maintenance requirements.

The Zinc Industrial Park, developed with the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation, aims to integrate raw material availability with value?added zinc production and renewable energy adoption. The initiative, first announced at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit in December 2024, is progressing through phased investor partnerships and strategic collaborations. Hindustan Zinc will provide assured raw material linkage and ecosystem support to Group Nirmal’s proposed operations at the park.

Hindustan Zinc supplies to more than 40 countries and holds about 74 per cent of the primary zinc market in India, and the company describes itself as the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and a top 10 global silver producer. The company highlighted recognition as the most sustainable metals and mining company by S&P Global for 2025, the launch of EcoZen green zinc and commitments on water?positive performance and net zero by 2050. The chief executive indicated the partnership will drive domestic manufacturing, strengthen supply chains and create long?term industrial value while supporting regional economic development.
