Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) 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. 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.
Through this collaboration, HZL will enable assured
raw material linkage and extend long-term ecosystem support for Group Nirmal’s
proposed operations at the Zinc Industrial Park.
