Hindustan Zinc Ltd., based in Mumbai, reported a 67.6% increase in net profit for the January-March quarter (Q4FY26), reaching ₹5,033 crore. The surge was attributed to a rally in silver prices, a weaker Indian rupee, and a 49% increase in revenue to ₹13,544 crore. Chief Executive Arun Mishra highlighted that the company achieved record financial performance due to low production costs and strong output. Zinc production rose to 227,000 tonnes, while silver production remained stable at 176 tonnes. Despite missing its annual silver production guidance of 680 tonnes, analysts noted that the company's focus on profitability led to strategic production decisions favoring zinc. Looking ahead, Hindustan Zinc aims for mined metal production of 1.15 million tonnes in FY27, while the commissioning of a new fertilizer plant has been postponed. The company maintains a positive outlook despite potential volatility in silver prices, with analysts emphasizing the importance of monitoring input costs and market trends.
