Hindustan Zinc Metal |
India’s leading non-ferrous metal producer, Hindustan Zinc, reported record metal production for the financial year ending March 2025. The company achieved 1.095 million tonnes (t) of mined metal output, marking a 1% increase over the previous year. This growth reflects improved ore grades and better mill recovery rates, particularly from the Agucha and Zawar mines.
Refining Output Also Grows
Refined metal output reached 1.052mn t, up 2% year-over-year. Hindustan Zinc refined 827,000t of zinc — a 1% increase — and 225,000t of lead, up 4%. The production gains indicate strong operational efficiency and growing demand in India’s construction and energy sectors.
2026 Outlook Signals Continued Expansion
Looking ahead, Hindustan Zinc aims to produce 1.125mn t of mined metal in the next fiscal year, including zinc, lead, and silver. Therefore, the company’s upward momentum is expected to continue, solidifying its leadership in the global zinc and lead markets. The Hindustan Zinc metal production trend aligns with India’s infrastructure push and resource security strategy.
The Metalnomist Commentary
Hindustan Zinc's consistent production growth reinforces India's strategic position in the global zinc and lead supply chain. As resource nationalism rises, the firm’s stable output and expanding outlook make it a key player to watch.
