Hindustan Zinc, India’s largest producer of refined zinc, anticipates robust growth in 2025, driven by increased production volumes and rising metal prices. CEO Arun Misra highlighted that the company expects strong revenue and profit growth in the fourth quarter and the upcoming fiscal year, supported by higher production and increasing metal prices.
In the third quarter, Hindustan Zinc reported a 32% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹2,678 crore, buoyed by favorable zinc and silver prices. The company also reported consolidated revenue of ₹8,615 crore for the period, up 18% year-on-year and the highest-ever for the third fiscal quarter.
Looking ahead, Misra projects zinc prices to rise to $2,850-$2,950 per tonne from the current $2,800, and silver to trade between $30 and $31 per ounce. He also mentioned that the company plans to restart discussions with the Indian government about splitting the company into two units in the near term.
