Essar's GreenLine in Rs 400 crore deal to decarbonise Hindustan Zinc Limited logistics
NEW DELHI: Hindustan Zinc Ltd has entered into a Rs 400-crore deal with Essar group's GreenLine Mobility Solutions for decarbonising its logistics network by deploying the latter's advanced electric (EV) and trucks powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The deal envisages GreenLine deploying 100 electric trucks to replace diesel vehicles for inter-unit concentrate movement between the company's mines and smelters. Simultaneously, a commercial-scale battery swapping infrastructure will also be set up with three high-capacity stations to ensure round-the-clock operations.
Additionally, GreenLine will add 100 LNG trucks to double Hindustan Zinc's current low-carbon fleet for long-haul finished goods transport.
'This large-scale deployment of EVs and LNG trucks will deliver cost efficiencies through discounted freight rates. It is estimated to reduce approximately 236 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions per month, equivalent to planting around 12,000 trees,' HZL chief executive Arun Misra said.
'This initiative is expected to reduce about 1,50,000 tonnes of Scope 3 emissions annually, advancing HZL's 2050 net-zero commitment by 2050 or sooner, and support India's green growth ambitions,' he said.

'This deployment with Hindustan Zinc reflects our shared urgency to decarbonise 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," GreenLine CEO Anand Mimani said.
GreenLine currently operates over 650 LNG trucks, serving clients across FMCG, e-commerce, metals & mining, cement, oil & gas, and chemicals.
Its fleet has covered more than 50 million kilometres, cutting over 14,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
The company plans to expand to more than 10,000 clean trucks, supported by a nationwide network of 100 LNG refuelling stations, EV charging hubs, and battery swapping facilities — an integrated green mobility ecosystem aiming to cut carbon emissions by up to 1 million tonnes annually.
