Hindustan Zinc inks transportation contract with MFL
Sep-10-2026

Hindustan Zinc has signed a six-year transportation contract with MFL India (MFL) for the deployment of 30 electric trucks for concentrate transportation, accelerating the electrification of its mine-to-smelter logistics network. Under the contract, extendable by a further two years, electric trucks will be progressively inducted to replace conventional diesel vehicles used for transporting zinc and lead concentrate from Rampura Agucha, the world’s largest underground zinc mining operations to its smelting operations in Rajasthan. 

MFL will also establish and operate dedicated EV charging infrastructure to support the fleet, creating the ecosystem required for reliable electric mobility across a critical industrial logistics route. Recognising the higher capital requirements associated with emerging technologies such as EVs and LNG, the company is working with MFL to enable a phased transition to cleaner mobility, progressively replacing conventional vehicles as the EV fleet and charging infrastructure are established, while ensuring continued participation of local drivers in the transportation network.

Hindustan Zinc is engaged in the mining and smelting of zinc, lead and silver metal in India.
