11 Mar 2026 CW Team

Hindustan Zinc recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CMR Green Technologies to establish a manufacturing facility at the upcoming Zinc Park in Rajasthan. The partnership marks the second major collaboration for the park and aims to strengthen India’s first integrated ecosystem for zinc-based industrial applications.

Under the agreement, CMR Green Technologies will develop a facility to manufacture high-quality, low-emission zinc alloys used across automotive, infrastructure, die-casting and consumer goods sectors. The initiative is expected to enhance downstream value addition in zinc while promoting sustainable metal processing.

Zinc Park was announced during the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 and is being jointly developed by Hindustan Zinc and the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO). Strategically located near Hindustan Zinc’s operations in Chanderiya, Dariba and Debari, the park will provide reliable raw material supply and efficient logistics.

The hub is envisioned to host MSMEs and large enterprises involved in galvanising, die-casting and zinc oxide production. With assured raw material linkages, long-term supply agreements and renewable-energy powered infrastructure, Zinc Park aims to drive advanced manufacturing, employment generation and circular economy practices in the state.
