Hindustan Zinc Ltd
Investor Relations

In the rugged terrains of Rajasthan, Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL) stands as a titan in the mining industry, wielding the title of the world's second-largest producer of zinc and among the most cost-efficient. Born from the strategic vision of Vedanta Group, HZL mines and processes zinc, a metal indispensable to industries ranging from construction to automotive. The company orchestrates a remarkable operation, running zinc-lead mines with state-of-the-art technology that draws from vast natural deposits deep within India's earth. Beyond extraction, HZL’s prowess stretches into the realms of smelting and refining, where zinc and its by-products like lead and silver are engineered to meet global market demands and stringent quality standards.

HZL makes its money by producing both refined metals and their inevitable by-products, which find their way into numerous everyday applications. Zinc, primarily used in galvanizing to prevent rusting across infrastructure and automotive industries, is the star player in HZL’s lineup. The company also benefits from the by-products of its operations, including significant outputs of lead and silver, thereby diversifying its revenue streams. Through a blend of innovation and efficiency, HZL manages to achieve a low cost of production, bolstering its competitive edge in the global market. This operational mastery allows Hindustan Zinc Ltd. not only to fulfill domestic demand but also to position itself as a formidable player on the international stage, where it exports a significant portion of its production.

AI Summary
Q2 2026

Record Performance: Hindustan Zinc delivered its highest-ever second quarter revenue, EBITDA, and profit after tax, driven by strong commodity prices and cost efficiencies.

Cost Leadership: Zinc cost of production hit a five-year low at $994 per tonne for the quarter, down 7% YoY, aided by greater use of renewable energy and softer input prices.

Revised Guidance: Full-year refined metal and silver production guidance was adjusted downward due to lower plant availability and input grades, with refined metal at 1,075,000 tonnes (±10,000 tonnes) and silver at 680 tonnes (±10 tonnes).

CapEx Acceleration: Multiple growth projects are underway, with growth CapEx guidance for FY '26 set at $350–400 million and maintenance CapEx at $400 million.

ESG & Sustainability: The company achieved fatality-free operations, increased renewable energy use to 19%, and aims for 70% renewables by FY '28.

Strong Market Tailwinds: Zinc and silver prices surged, with silver crossing $50/oz and about 40% of company profits now coming from silver.

Hedging Strategy: Management is selectively hedging a portion of zinc and silver volumes to lock in favorable margins amid price volatility.

Net Debt Position: The company expects to end FY '26 in a flat net debt/net cash position, despite higher CapEx.
