Hindustan Zinc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Group Nirmal to set up a zinc wire manufacturing facility at the company's flagship Zinc Industrial Park at Khankhala, Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. The collaboration further strengthens Hindustan Zinc's long-term vision of building a robust downstream zinc manufacturing ecosystem in India focused on high-value industrial applications.

Under the agreement, Group Nirmal will manufacture zinc wire products using Hindustan Zinc's Special High Grade (SHG) zinc, catering to sectors such as infrastructure, renewable energy, automotive and industrial engineering. Zinc wire is a critical input for thermal spray coating and metallizing processes, where it is melted and sprayed onto steel surfaces to form a protective zinc coating. This process provides durable anti-corrosion protection to steel structures and critical assets including bridges, transmission towers, railways, ports, pipelines and industrial installations exposed to aggressive environmental conditions. These coatings significantly enhance structural longevity, improve operational reliability and reduce lifecycle maintenance requirements, making them an increasingly preferred solution for sustainable infrastructure protection.
