Hindustan Zinc showcases large metal portfolio driving automotive innovation at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025

Hindustan Zinc displays its new and innovative zinc die casting alloy product range HZDA 3 and HZDA 5 (Hindustan Zinc Diec Casting Alloy) at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, along with its entire range of high-quality zinc products for the auto segment. The company presented one of the world’s largest zinc product portfolios along with lead, silver and value-added products, tailored for the automotive industry at this global event for the automotive @ mobility industry.

Zinc’s usage in the automotive sector, through galvanized steel, offers significant fuel and emission savings by providing a high degree of corrosion resistance to lightweight steel bodies (BIW or Body-In-White), ensuring durable, long-lasting vehicles with longer anti-perforation warranty against corrosion. The company’s Zinc Die Casting Alloys specially developed for the hot chamber die casting process are engineered to cater to the evolving needs of the automotive sector. Commonly known as ZAMAK in the market, Hindustan Zinc is the primary producer of these alloys which otherwise are imported into the country. Hindustan Zinc’s Die Casting Alloys offer exceptional castability, long-term dimensional stability, fast machining, and superior finishing for plating, painting, and chromate treatments. Both HZDA 3 & HZDA 5 provide higher strength, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and dimensional tolerance to automobiles. The company’s foray into superior die-casting alloys presents an opportunity for auto OEMs and component manufacturers to reduce imports from other countries and build a resilient value chain of high-quality products within the country.

Another big draw at the event was Hindustan Zinc’s low-carbon ‘green’ zinc branded ‘EcoZen’ that has 75% lower carbon footprint compared to conventionally produced zinc that can result in a total carbon emission avoidance of about 400 kg in galvanizing one tonne of steel with EcoZen.

The company’s product range also includes lead, which is vital for automotive batteries, components and radiation shielding while silver enhances conductivity and efficiency in automotive electronics, including switches and relays. As the auto industry transforms with localization, electrification and stricter emissions regulations, domestically produced zinc, lead and silver present sustainable, high-performance solutions for the future.

Sharing his thoughts, Arun Misra, CEO and Whole-time Director, Hindustan Zinc Limited, said, “The automotive industry is at the forefront of shaping a sustainable future, and Hindustan Zinc is proud to be a partner in this journey. We are committed to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions that not only meet but exceed the industry’s expectations. Our vast product portfolio will play a pivotal role in driving efficiency, sustainability, and design excellence in automotive manufacturing. We are excited to showcase our diverse metals at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, a platform that mirrors our vision of co-creating a future beyond boundaries.”
