Udaipur, April 27, 2026 (Daily Kiran): Hindustan Zinc Limited has expanded its nationwide awareness campaign ‘Zinc Against Corrosion’ for 2026, building on the success of its 2025 initiative. The campaign aims to not only spread awareness about corrosion but also encourage preventive measures among people.
Aligned with World Corrosion Awareness Day, the campaign presents corrosion as a household concern rather than just an industrial issue. In India, high temperatures, humidity, and pollution accelerate the process of corrosion, leading to an estimated loss of nearly 5 percent of the country’s GDP. The campaign highlights the urgent need for preventive solutions, especially in such conditions.
As part of the expanded outreach, the company is engaging consumers and stakeholders through multiple platforms across the country. A key initiative includes the launch of a dedicated ‘Zinc Galvanization Information’ hub on HZLIndia.com, designed as a central resource for consumers, industry professionals, and policymakers. The platform provides information on the benefits of zinc galvanization and simple ways to prevent corrosion.
The campaign is also being promoted through radio and digital platforms. Special radio jingles have been aired in cities like Mumbai and Delhi to alert car owners about the damage caused by corrosion. Simultaneously, a strong digital media campaign highlights the role of zinc in protecting assets ranging from automobiles and household fittings to railways, transmission poles, and large-scale infrastructure.
To understand public perception, outreach activities were conducted in Mumbai, where people acknowledged corrosion as a major issue but showed limited awareness about preventive measures.
CEO Arun Misra said corrosion is often seen as an industrial problem, but it impacts everyday life, including vehicles, homes, and essential infrastructure. He stated that through this campaign, the company aims to go beyond awareness and motivate people to take action by understanding the long-term effects of corrosion and simple preventive steps. He added that zinc galvanization is a sustainable and effective solution, and the campaign seeks to make this knowledge accessible to every citizen.
The initiative has gained attention among consumers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. By explaining issues such as reduced vehicle value due to rust and weakening household fittings in simple terms, the company is making the subject more relatable.
Zinc galvanization is globally recognised as one of the most effective methods to combat corrosion, significantly increasing the lifespan of steel and reducing long-term maintenance costs. Through the 2026 campaign, Hindustan Zinc continues to strengthen its commitment towards promoting awareness-driven action, supporting stronger infrastructure, informed consumer choices, and a more sustainable future.
