Hindustan Zinc Signs Pact With Tripura Group For Zinc Park

27 Feb 2026 CW Team

Under the terms of the memorandum, HZL will provide an assured raw material linkage to Tripura Group's proposed unit and will support the venture through a committed long-term offtake arrangement. The arrangement is intended to underpin manufacturing scale and downstream value addition within the zinc cluster. The planned incentives include performance-linked measures and renewable energy commitments to enhance sustainability and investor confidence.

Arun Misra, chief executive officer of HZL, indicated that the partnership demonstrates how targeted collaboration can accelerate Make-in-India manufacturing and unlock downstream value. He added that assured supply arrangements alongside performance-linked incentives and renewable energy commitments are designed to give investors confidence to scale operations. The company expects the initiative to foster technological improvements across the zinc value chain.

The project is also expected to support micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) growth and create local employment opportunities in the region. By linking upstream raw material supply to downstream manufacturing capacity, the memorandum seeks to catalyse a self-sustaining industrial ecosystem at the Zinc Industrial Park. HZL and Tripura Group will proceed to operationalise the unit through agreed implementation milestones.

The agreement is likely to provide a predictable demand curve for the proposed unit and to reduce market risk for suppliers within the park, thereby encouraging capital deployment and long-term planning. Stakeholders will be expected to benefit from coordinated logistics and shared infrastructure that the industrial hub aims to deliver. The memorandum establishes a framework for phased implementation and performance monitoring.

Hindustan Zinc Ltd, a Vedanta group firm, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Tripura Group to operationalise a manufacturing unit at its flagship Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan. The agreement forms part of a broader plan to establish the country's first integrated downstream industrial hub focused on zinc-based value chains.
