Hindustan Zinc Supplies EcoZen Zinc to Tata Steel, Strengthening India’s Green Steel Ecosystem

In a significant move towards sustainable industrial practices, Hindustan Zinc has supplied its low-carbon product, EcoZen Zinc, to Tata Steel. This collaboration highlights a growing shift within India’s metals and manufacturing sectors toward reducing carbon emissions and adopting environmentally responsible solutions.

EcoZen Zinc is produced using renewable energy and has a verified carbon footprint of less than one tonne of CO2 equivalent per tonne of zinc. This is nearly 75 percent lower than the global industry average, making it one of the most environmentally friendly zinc products currently available. By integrating such materials into production processes, downstream industries can significantly reduce their overall value chain emissions.

Zinc plays a critical role in steel manufacturing, particularly in galvanisation, where it protects steel from corrosion and enhances durability. This makes it indispensable across sectors such as infrastructure, automotive, renewable energy, electronics, and energy storage. With increasing demand for sustainable construction and green infrastructure, the use of low-carbon materials like EcoZen Zinc is expected to gain further traction.

According to Hindustan Zinc CEO Arun Misra, EcoZen reflects the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable metal solutions aligned with evolving global manufacturing needs. He also noted that the partnership with Tata Steel represents a major step in scaling the adoption of low-carbon zinc and building greener supply chains across India.

Tata Steel’s Chief Procurement Officer Ranjan Sinha highlighted that the collaboration reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to sustainability and the advancement of green technologies within the supplier ecosystem. The delivery of EcoZen Zinc to Tata Steel’s Sahibabad plant marks a milestone in integrating environmentally responsible materials into large-scale steel production.

This partnership also supports broader climate goals, including Scope 3 emission reductions and climate-aligned procurement strategies. As India continues its transition toward low-carbon industrial growth, such collaborations are expected to play a crucial role in building a resilient and sustainable manufacturing ecosystem.
