Hindustan Zinc (HZL), the world's largest integrated zinc producer, has taken a major step towards sustainable operations by deploying a fleet of 40 Electric Vehicle (EV) Bulkers at its Zinc Smelter Debari facility in Udaipur.

The company is deploying the EV bulkers in collaboration with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility under an extensive eight-year contract. These vehicles will be used to transport calcine (a by-product of the roasting process) from the Debari smelter to the company's integrated zinc-lead smelter in Chittorgarh. The first batch of 10 bulkers is already operational, with the remaining units scheduled for rollout in the coming months.

This initiative is a significant step in HZL's commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 or sooner. The transition to EVs complements the company's existing use of LNG and battery-powered trucks and its wider strategy of integrating renewable energy and advanced energy-efficiency measures.

Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “We are embedding sustainability into the core of our logistics strategy to build an ecosystem that is clean, connected, and future ready. These electric mobility solutions are not just reducing our carbon footprint, but also unlocking operational efficiency, workforce safety, and long-term value - all aligned with our broader vision of decarbonising operations and enabling India’s green industrial growth.”

In a related move, HZL also signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility to introduce electric buses for employee transportation at the Zinc Smelter Debari. This shift will further reduce the company's Scope 3 emissions and ensure a cleaner commute for its workforce.

Praveen Somani, CEO, Enviiiro Wheels Mobility, said, “Hindustan Zinc’s groundbreaking endeavour marks a pivotal moment in India’s manufacturing landscape. We stand committed to Hindustan Zinc’s vision of decarbonisation and believe that our green logistics solutions are instrumental to advancing India’s sustainability objectives. As part of our ongoing commitment with Hindustan Zinc, we’re proud to deploy 40 additional electric bulkers for Vedanta. We firmly believe that clean and eco-friendly mobility solutions will play a pivotal role in aiding industries to attain their sustainability goals”.
