Hindustan Zinc Limited has announced a strategic partnership with Tata Steel to integrate EcoZen, a low-carbon zinc solution, into sustainable steel manufacturing processes. This collaboration aims to reduce carbon emissions in the steel industry.
EcoZen, Asia's first low-carbon zinc, is produced using renewable energy, resulting in a carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of zinc.
This is approximately 75% lower than the global industry average, offering significant emission reductions at the raw material stage.
By adopting EcoZen, industries can lower value-chain emissions and advance their decarbonisation goals.
The zinc plays a crucial role in galvanising steel, protecting it against corrosion and extending its service life.
The use of EcoZen can help avoid approximately 400 kg of CO₂ emissions per tonne of steel galvanised compared to conventional zinc.
This provides a tangible pathway for customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions and enhance overall sustainability performance.
Hindustan Zinc and Tata Steel have been strategic partners for over 20 years. The EcoZen initiative marks a significant evolution in their collaboration, focusing on decarbonisation, sustainable practices, and responsible sourcing.

As of March 23, 2026, at 12:29 PM, Hindustan Zinc share price on NSE was trading at ₹489.00 down by 5.00% from the previous closing price.
