UDAIPUR (India CSR): Hindustan Zinc Limited, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top ten global silver producers, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sulfozyme Agro India Pvt. Ltd. under its flagship Zinc Industrial Park initiative set up at Khankhala, Bhilwara district in Rajasthan. The partnership marks another strategic step toward strengthening India’s downstream zinc sector through sustainable metal recovery, resource efficiency, and innovation-led industrial development.
Under the collaboration, Sulfozyme Agro will establish its proposed operations at the Zinc Industrial Park focused on processing zinc-based materials into value-added products for industrial and downstream applications. Hindustan Zinc will support the venture through assured raw material linkage and long-term ecosystem support, enabling efficient operations, integrated supply chains, and scalable manufacturing within the Park’s industrial network. The partnership also aligns with Hindustan Zinc’s broader vision of strengthening the MSME ecosystem by creating opportunities for downstream industries, local entrepreneurship, and industrial growth in the state of Rajasthan.
The Zinc Park proposal, first announced by the Honourable Chief Minister of Rajasthan Shri Bhajan Lal Sharma alongside Vedanta Group Chairman Shri Anil Agarwal at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit in December 2024, continues to progress through phased investor partnerships and strategic collaborations. The initiative reflects Hindustan Zinc’s long-term vision of positioning Rajasthan as a leading manufacturing hub for zinc-based industries and value-added products.
Developed in collaboration with RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation), Zinc Industrial Park is a dedicated downstream manufacturing hub designed to integrate raw material availability with value-added zinc production. By offering ready-to-use infrastructure, proximity to raw material supply, and an industry-focused operating environment, the park aims to attract zinc customers, processors, MSMEs, and downstream manufacturers seeking scalable and efficient manufacturing opportunities around zinc and allied products.
Speaking on the occasion, Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “At Hindustan Zinc, we are focused on building a future-ready industrial platform driven by innovation, sustainability, and resource efficiency. Our partnership with Sulfozyme Agro reflects our commitment to strengthening the circular economy while enabling downstream value creation. Zinc Industrial Park is envisioned as a collaborative platform where businesses can leverage Hindustan Zinc’s metal expertise, reliable supply chain, and manufacturing strengths. Through such partnerships, we aim to accelerate industrial growth, support MSME development, and position Rajasthan as a leading destination for zinc-based industries and advanced manufacturing.”
The Zinc Industrial Park is rapidly emerging as a catalyst for industrial growth in Rajasthan by enabling downstream industries, promoting entrepreneurship, and generating specialized employment opportunities. Anchored on sustainability, circular economy principles, and renewable energy adoption, the initiative is designed to support long-term regional economic development while strengthening India’s critical minerals and metals value chain.
This MoU with Sulfozyme Agro further strengthens Hindustan Zinc’s focus on responsible manufacturing and downstream industrial expansion. As the company continues to build strategic partnerships across innovation, resource efficiency, and clean technology, Hindustan Zinc remains committed to advancing sustainable metal production and supporting India’s manufacturing growth story.
