New Delhi, June 24, 2025 — Hindustan Zinc Limited, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, is representing India at the 13th Asia Pacific General Galvanizing Conference in Kuala Lumpur this week. The premier industry event, hosted by the Galvanizers Association of Malaysia from June 23 to 26, has brought together global industry leaders, policymakers, and technology innovators to explore the future of galvanization.
At Booth No. 10, Hindustan Zinc is offering international delegates an immersive experience through its 3D augmented reality showcase, highlighting the company’s advanced, technology-driven operations. The company also led a thought leadership session titled “Galvanizing Industries: Current Scenario and Impact,” bringing together experts to explore zinc’s evolving role in sustainable infrastructure development.
“As the world transitions to cleaner energy systems, the importance of zinc is rising dramatically,” said Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc. “We are proud to present our integrated operations at this global platform. With Southeast Asia’s rapid growth, ensuring a reliable supply of top-quality zinc is a strategic priority. Through this participation, we advance the ‘Make in India, for the World’ vision, positioning Indian manufacturing as globally competitive and future-ready.”
A Leader in Sustainable Zinc Solutions
As a fully integrated mine-to-metal producer, Hindustan Zinc guarantees an efficient supply chain with uninterrupted delivery of critical metals worldwide. The company’s broad portfolio includes London Metal Exchange (LME)-registered products such as Special High-Grade Zinc (SHG), High-Grade Zinc (HG), Asia’s first low-carbon ‘green’ zinc EcoZen, Prime Western Zinc (PW), Continuous Galvanizing Grade (CGG), and various zinc alloys and lead products. The portfolio also features LBMA-registered silver bars and powders.
EcoZen, produced using renewable energy, delivers a 75% lower carbon footprint than the global average, demonstrating Hindustan Zinc’s leadership in sustainable innovation. The company is also the first in India to offer Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verified zinc products, providing transparency on environmental impact and meeting stringent quality certifications from BIS and REACH.
Combating Corrosion Across Coastal and Tropical Regions
Zinc is vital for galvanization, a proven method for protecting steel from corrosion—especially in coastal regions where humidity, salt, and moisture accelerate structural decay. Galvanization extends the lifespan of steel structures, reducing maintenance costs and improving long-term resilience.
For nations across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka, galvanization is critical. In India alone, corrosion-related damage costs the economy nearly 5% of its GDP, amounting to over $100 billion annually. By adopting zinc-based solutions, these countries can enhance infrastructure longevity, economic efficiency, and sustainable development.
A Global Leader in Zinc and Sustainability
Hindustan Zinc supplies its zinc portfolio to over 40 countries, with a strong focus on customer-centric innovation. Its Customer Technical Services team and Centre of Excellence work closely with partners to meet evolving needs.
A Vedanta Group company, Hindustan Zinc Limited (BSE: 500188 | NSE: HINDZINC) holds approximately 77% share of India’s primary zinc market and ranks among the top five silver producers globally. Recognized as the world’s most sustainable company in metals and mining by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2024 for the second consecutive year, the company continues to lead in operational excellence, innovation, and ESG performance.
