Business Oct 03, 2025

Hindustan Zinc (part of Vedanta) just posted a strong Q2 for FY26: profits shot up 35% year-on-year to ₹2,327 crore.
Even with some bumps—like a 6% dip in saleable metal and a sharp 29% drop in refined lead output—the company managed to slightly grow mined metal production and keep earnings climbing.

Revenue up 22%; silver makes a comeback

Revenue rose 22% to ₹8,252 crore, thanks to better zinc prices globally and silver making a comeback. EBITDA margins also improved.
On the green front, Hindustan Zinc invested ₹327 crore in Serentica Renewables to help power its future with clean energy by 2027.
Meanwhile, the stock is up 11% this year—even if it's still below its 52-week high—reflecting optimism around these bold moves.
