In a significant development reported by Upstox, Hindustan Zinc announced a partnership with Tata Steel in late March 2026 to expand the use of its low-carbon zinc solution, EcoZen, in steel manufacturing. According to the company filing to BSE, Hindustan Zinc has strengthened its longstanding association with Tata Steel to expand the integration of EcoZen into sustainable steel manufacturing. EcoZen is produced using renewable energy and has a verified carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of zinc—about 75% lower than the global industry average. As noted by Upstox, the partnership highlights both firms' resolve to weave climate priorities into their core operations and sourcing strategies, with Hindustan Zinc CEO Arun Misra calling it a significant milestone in scaling up low-carbon zinc adoption.
According to CNBC TV18, the company plans to engage with investors shortly via an earnings conference call after the results announcement on April 24, 2026. The strong financial performance, with Q3 FY26 net profit growing 47% year-on-year to ₹3,879 crore, demonstrates the company's robust operational efficiency and market position. The restructured Vedanta continues to house the zinc and silver businesses through Hindustan Zinc as an incubator for future ventures, with the company maintaining its position as a key player in India's base metals sector. Hindustan Zinc is India's only integrated producer of zinc and lead, with the company producing three types of zinc: special high-grade zinc used in construction, infrastructure, and household appliances; high-grade zinc; and prime western zinc, with a total metal production capacity of 1.123 million tonnes.
