Dear Readers,
Do you know? Corrosion is a prominent destroyer, eating away at infrastructure and costing India a staggering 5% of its GDP annually. It weakens bridges, buildings, and railways – turning steel into dust. But what if there was a way to defy time and nature? Enter zinc – the ultimate shield against corrosion. With Hindustan Zinc as the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, India has the power to revolutionize infrastructure with this #MetalForLife.
In this edition of #HZLSpeaks, we unveil how zinc is fortifying India’s progress and accelerating its journey to a $5 trillion economy. Corrosion is relentless, but zinc fights back – offering unmatched protection through galvanization. It involves coating steel with a protective layer of zinc, which prevents rust and extends the lifespan of structures. This significantly reduces recurring inspection and maintenance costs, saving India crores in infrastructure expenses. Zinc plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public infrastructure, residential buildings, railways, roads, bridges, and power transmission networks. Unlike paint or anti-rust treatments that wear off, zinc sacrifices itself to protect steel, forming an impenetrable barrier against rust. The result? 50+ years of durability with little to no maintenance.
From towering skyscrapers to intricate bridges, zinc stands tall behind India’s architectural icons – Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, Lotus Temple, YashoBhoomi, Nau Sena Bhawan and even global marvels like Burj Khalifa and Lusail Stadium.
With infrastructure booming and zinc consumption set to surpass 2 million tonnes, this metal is more than just a protector – it’s a catalyst for India’s transformation. As the nation builds smarter, stronger, and more sustainable, zinc will be at the heart of it all. Stay tuned as Hindustan Zinc’s #MetalsForLife continue to fuel India’s #AmaZinc infrastructure revolution.
