Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL), India’s largest and the world's second-largest zinc producer, recently showcased its extensive product offerings for the automotive sector at the 4th Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) Raw Material Conclave & Exhibition.
Zinc galvanisation offers significant fuel and emission savings by providing high corrosion resistance to lightweight steel bodies (Body-In-White), ensuring durable, long-lasting vehicles with extended anti-perforation warranties against corrosion. Zinc-based alloys, such as Hindustan Zinc Die Casting Alloys (HZDA 3 & HZDA 5), offer higher strength, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and dimensional tolerance for automobiles.
Lead is essential for automotive batteries, components, and radiation shielding, ensuring reliability and safety. Silver enhances conductivity and efficiency in automotive electronics, including switches and relays.
As the auto industry evolves with localisation, electrification, and stricter emissions regulations, domestically produced zinc, lead, and silver provide sustainable, high-performance solutions. The company’s comprehensive portfolio of value-added zinc products offers cost-effective solutions that meet performance, speed, and safety requirements without compromising quality.
At ACMA’s conclave on ‘Automotive Raw Material – Non-Ferrous Metals & Alloys,’ top executives from key players in the auto and auto components industries participated. Vijay Murthy, Chief Marketing & Sales Officer at HZL, stressed the importance of zinc galvanisation and zinc-based alloys in creating stronger, more formable, and sustainable auto bodies.
Arun Misra, CEO of HZL, said, “As the automotive industry transforms, zinc stands out as a sustainable solution for the challenges of tomorrow. We are committed to collaborating with Indian automakers to unlock zinc’s potential and propel India’s mobility future forward. Our zinc solutions are cost-effective, adaptable for complex designs, and environmentally responsible.”
