Hindustan Zinc Ltd. achieved record mined metal production of 1,095 kilotonnes, driven by improved grades and mill recovery for fiscal 2025.
Refined metal production reached an all-time high of 1,052 kt due to better plant availability and operational efficiency, according to an exchange filing on Wednesday. Zinc production increased by 1% to 827 kt, while lead production rose by 4% to 225 kt.
Its subsidiary, Hindustan Zinc Alloys Pvt., produced 10 kt of zinc alloys, boosting the value-added product segment for the company and within India for the financial year 2024-25, the filings said.
Meanwhile, saleable silver output stood at 687 tonnes, marking an 8% decline due to changes in mining sequence and reduced silver input from the SK mine, consistent with mine grades.
Fiscal 2025 Fourth-Quarter Performance
Hindustan Zinc achieved its highest-ever quarterly mined metal production of 310 kt, a 17% increase quarter-on-quarter due to better metal grades, improved mill recovery, and higher output at Agucha and Zawar mines, the exchange filing said.
Refined metal production reached 270 kt, up 4% quarter-on-quarter. This included 214 kt of refined zinc, a 5% rise, and 56 kt of lead, which grew by 2%.
Saleable silver production increased by 10% quarter-on-quarter to 177 tonnes, driven by higher lead production and work-in-progress liquidation, the filings said.
Wind power generation for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was 63 million units, a 33% quarter-on-quarter increase due to stronger wind velocity.
Shares of Hindustan Zinc closed 1.55% higher at Rs 460.80 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, compared to a 0.72% rise in the benchmark Nifty. The stock has risen 45.98% in the last 12 months and 3.78% on a year-to-date basis.
