Yours faithfully, For Hindustan Zinc Limited Aashhima V Khanna Company Secretary & Compliance Officer Encl: as above Hindustan Zinc, the first in India’s mining sector to explore Hydrogen Fuel solutions, signs MoU with Advantek Associates & Aero Eagle Automobiles • Initiative to focus on feasibility studies, pilot projects, and phased deployment of green hydrogen solutions. • Collaboration to assess hydrogen applications across underground mining, heavy earth-moving machinery, surface vehicles, generators and other operational assets Udaipur, 22 June 2026: Hindustan Zinc Limited (BSE: 500188 & NSE: HINDZINC), the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and one of the top 10 silver producers globally, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Advantek Associates LLP and Aero Eagle Automobiles Private Limited to explore the adoption of green hydrogen and alternative clean energy solutions across its operations. The collaboration aims to evaluate innovative technologies that can support the transition towards low-carbon and future-ready mining. Through this MoU, Hindustan Zinc is set to pioneer the use of hydrogen fuel for underground mining applications, positioning it to become the only company to deploy this technology in such environments. The collaboration is part of Hindustan Zinc’s larger strategy to build future-ready, low- carbon and technology-led mining operations, aligned with its commitment to become Net Zero by 2050 or sooner. As mining and heavy industry continue to be among the most difficult sectors to decarbonise, clean fuel technologies such as hydrogen are emerging as important pathways for reducing emissions in high-capacity, energy-intensive and hard-to-electrify applications. Through this MoU, Hindustan Zinc aims to evaluate hydrogen-based technologies that can support its long-term decarbonisation roadmap while strengthening operational efficiency and sustainable value creation. Commenting on the development, Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc Limited, said, “At Hindustan Zinc, we are focused on pioneering solutions that can redefine the future of sustainable mining. Hydrogen has the potential to support cleaner mobility, reduce emissions from heavy-duty equipment and create new pathways for decarbonising hard- to-abate industrial operations. This collaboration is a forward-looking step in evaluating hydrogen-based technologies, including their potential application in underground mining, as we continue to build a future-ready metals business aligned with global sustainability benchmarks.” The partnership will focus on conducting comprehensive feasibility assessments for hydrogen-based technologies, including green hydrogen generation, storage, dispensing infrastructure, and hydrogen-powered equipment. It will also evaluate the potential use of Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2-ICE) and fuel cell technologies across mining and industrial applications. A key area of exploration will be the use of hydrogen fuel solutions in underground mining environments, positioning Hindustan Zinc among the early movers in India’s mining sector to assess such applications. Sensitivity: Internal (C3) The initiative will follow a phased approach, beginning with technical, operational, safety, environmental and financial feasibility studies. Based on the outcomes, the collaboration may be scaled further to enable broader deployment across mining equipment, heavy earth-moving machinery, underground and surface vehicles, generators and other operational assets.
