Hindustan Zinc Limited has announced a strategic partnership with CMR Green Technologies Ltd. for zinc alloy manufacturing at Zinc Park in Rajasthan, marking a significant milestone in India's downstream metals ecosystem development. The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on March 10, 2026.

Strategic Partnership Details

The partnership brings together Hindustan Zinc, the world's largest integrated zinc producer, and CMR Green Technologies Ltd., India's largest non-ferrous metal recycling company. This collaboration represents the second major partnership for Zinc Park, following the earlier MoU with Tripura Group, further strengthening the park's positioning as India's first integrated ecosystem for zinc-based industrial applications.

Zinc Park Development Initiative

Zinc Park was first announced by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Bhajan Lal Sharma, during the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024. Vedanta Group Chairman Shri Anil Agarwal highlighted it as a transformative initiative for India's downstream metals ecosystem. The park is developed jointly by Hindustan Zinc and RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation).

The strategic location provides significant advantages:

• Proximity to Hindustan Zinc's Chanderiya, Dariba, and Debari operations
• Strong logistics connectivity
• Reliable raw material supply chain
• Renewable energy-powered manufacturing hub

Manufacturing Focus and Applications

Under the MoU, CMR Green Technologies will establish a manufacturing facility focused on producing high-quality, low-emission zinc alloys. These alloys serve critical functions across multiple industries due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and recyclability properties.

Key Applications:

• Die-casting components for automobiles
• Electronics manufacturing
• Consumer appliances
• Hardware applications
• Infrastructure development projects

The facility will enable downstream value addition of zinc while promoting sustainable metal processing and supporting India's self-reliance in industrial materials.

Industry Impact and Sustainability

CMR Green Technologies brings significant expertise to the partnership, with longstanding relationships with leading automotive giants and other key industrial players. The company's operations utilize cutting-edge technologies and maintain a strong sustainability focus, with recycled metal production achieving up to 95% lower emissions compared to primary metal production.

According to Mr. Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, "Zinc Park is a strategic vision to drive industrial growth, local manufacturing, and sustainability through zinc-based applications. We are pleased to welcome CMR Green Technologies as a partner in this journey. Their leadership in non-ferrous metal recycling and strong capabilities in alloy production will play a pivotal role in building a future-ready, innovation-driven zinc ecosystem."

Economic and Industrial Significance

The development aligns with Rajasthan Diwas celebrations and highlights the state's commitment to industrial growth and innovation. Zinc Park is envisioned to host MSMEs and large-scale enterprises engaged in galvanizing, die-casting, zinc oxide production, and related applications.

This initiative strengthens Rajasthan's industrial ecosystem while aligning with India's vision of becoming a global hub for metals-based innovation and sustainability, promoting circular economy principles through metal recovery and reuse.
