To deploy EV and LNG Trucks for Green Logistics

Hindustan Zinc Limited India’s only and the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, has launched one of India’s largest green logistics transitions in partnership with GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd., an Essar venture and the country’s leading green logistics operator.

This collaboration marks a pivotal step in Hindustan Zinc’s accelerated push towards achieving 100% decarbonization of its supply chain through the deployment of advanced electric (EV) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trucks.

This expansion marks a major step forward in Hindustan Zinc’s pursuit of Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner and will be enabled by the widespread integration of EVs and LNG trucks throughout its supply chain.

As part of this strategic collaboration, GreenLine will invest Rs. 400 crore to deploy 100 Electric Trucks, replacing diesel vehicles for inter-unit concentrate movement between the company’s mines and smelters (metal production plant), and establish India’s first commercial-scale battery swapping infrastructure with 3 high-capacity stations for 24×7 operations, while also expanding Hindustan Zinc’s LNG fleet by adding 100 new LNG trucks, doubling the fleet size to 200 for long-haul finished goods transport.

Mr Arun Misra, CEO Hindustan Zinc Limited, stated, “At Hindustan Zinc, we are unwavering in our commitment to pioneering sustainable practices and believe the future of manufacturing is green.”

Mr Anand Mimani, CEO of GreenLine, said, “Clean transport isn’t a future option, it’s today’s responsibility. This deployment with Hindustan Zinc powerfully reflects our shared urgency to decarbonize logistics at scale, setting a scalable model for industrial decarbonization across sectors.”
