The 4th most consumed metal globally — essential for galvanizing steel, die-casting, brass alloys, and increasingly for zinc-air and zinc-bromine batteries for grid storage.
Why it matters for India: India is the world's 4th largest zinc producer. Hindustan Zinc (Vedanta subsidiary) dominates domestic production. Zinc is gaining strategic importance as a safer, cheaper alternative to lithium for stationary energy storage.
