Hindustan Zinc Limited, India鈥檚 only and the world's largest integrated zinc producer, marks a significant stride with the launch of digital-first logistics management system, Zinc Freight Bazaar. This pioneering initiative positions Hindustan Zinc as one of the first among non-ferrous metals companies in India to introduce an innovative logistics platform designed to empower customers, enhance experience and simplify the logistics process. The platform features live tracking, logistics planner, bidding tool and host of affiliated logistics service partners.

Designed with a sharp focus on user experience, Zinc Freight Bazaar facilitates robust production planning and enables customers to make well-informed logistics decisions. The platform is tailored to meet the nuanced requirements of its customers.
