Hindustan Zinc Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sulfozyme Agro India Pvt. Ltd. under its flagship Zinc Industrial Park initiative in Khankhala, Bhilwara district, Rajasthan. The partnership aims to strengthen India's downstream zinc ecosystem through sustainable metal recovery, resource efficiency, and value-added manufacturing.
Under the agreement, Sulfozyme Agro will establish operations within the Zinc Industrial Park to process zinc-based materials into value-added products for industrial and downstream applications. Hindustan Zinc will provide assured raw material supply and long-term ecosystem support to facilitate efficient operations and integrated supply chains.
The collaboration aligns with Hindustan Zinc's broader strategy of promoting MSME development, encouraging local entrepreneurship, and fostering industrial growth in Rajasthan.
The Zinc Industrial Park, developed in partnership with Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO), is designed as a dedicated downstream manufacturing hub that combines raw material availability with value-added zinc production. The facility aims to attract processors, MSMEs, and manufacturers seeking scalable opportunities in zinc and allied products.
The initiative was first announced during the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 by Bhajan Lal Sharma alongside Anil Agarwal.
Commenting on the partnership, Arun Misra said the company is focused on building a future-ready industrial ecosystem driven by innovation, sustainability, and resource efficiency. He noted that the collaboration with Sulfozyme Agro supports the circular economy while creating downstream value and strengthening Rajasthan's position as a hub for zinc-based industries and advanced manufacturing.
Hindustan Zinc said the Zinc Industrial Park is emerging as a catalyst for industrial growth by supporting downstream industries, generating specialized employment opportunities, and promoting sustainable manufacturing practices. The company added that strategic partnerships such as this will help strengthen India's critical minerals and metals value chain while contributing to long-term economic development.
