Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) has launched one of the country’s largest green logistics transitions in partnerships with GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd. With this collaboration, HZL has accelerated push towards achieving 100 per cent decarbonization of its supply chain through the deployment of advanced electric (EV) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trucks.
In a release, HZL said, “This expansion marks a major step forward in Hindustan Zinc’s pursuit of Net Zero emissions, enabled by the widespread integration of EVs and LNG trucks throughout its supply chain.”
As part of the collaboration, GreenLine Mobility Solutions 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, 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.
Arun Misra, CEO Hindustan Zinc Limited, said: “At Hindustan Zinc, we are unwavering in our commitment to pioneering sustainable practices and believe the future of manufacturing is green.
This large-scale deployment of EVs and LNG trucks, a bold step in our journey to net zero, solidifies our dedication to driving meaningful impact through innovative green logistics solutions and strategic partnerships, shaping a cleaner, more sustainable supply chain.”
This expansion will also deliver cost efficiencies through discounted freight rates and is estimated to reduce approximately 236 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions per month, equivalent to planting around 12,000 trees, the release said.
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.
With our LNG and EV fleet, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors, we’re bringing together innovation, sustainability, and real-world impact in a way that’s practical and powerful for industry.”
