Hindustan Zinc's Stellar Performance: Profits Soar by 46%

Vedanta's Hindustan Zinc Ltd saw a 46.2% surge in profits for Q3 2025, driven by higher commodity prices and increased production. The company's net profit reached Rs 3,916 crore, up from Rs 2,678 crore the previous year, with record performance in metal production and low-cost operations.

Vedanta's Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) reported an impressive increase in consolidated net profit by 46.2% to Rs 3,916 crore for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025. This growth was fueled by burgeoning commodity prices, bolstered production, and a favorable exchange rate. In comparison, the previous year's profit stood at Rs 2,678 crore.

For the October-December period, HZL's consolidated income soared to Rs 11,273 crore from Rs 8,832 crore, marking a robust growth period for the firm. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Arun Misra, attributed this to record third-quarter metal production and the five-year lowest zinc production cost of USD 940 per tonne.

Chief Financial Officer Sandeep Modi highlighted the firm's fortified financial performance across nine months, with a remarkable sequential profit increase of 48% to a record Rs 3,916 crore, underscoring the positive impact of their precious metals portfolio.
