Hindustan Zinc Shines in Q3: Mined, Refined Metal Output Soars, Lead Dips

• Hindustan Zinc reported a 4% YoY rise in mined metal production to 276 kt and saleable metal production to 270 kt in Q3 FY25.
• Refined zinc output surged 8% YoY to 221 kt, driven by debottlenecking projects and improved plant availability.
• Refined lead production declined 11% YoY to 49 kt due to operational factors and lower pyro plant availability.
• Silver output remained flat at 158 metric tonnes, while wind power generation increased 5% to 50 million units.
• The company achieved its highest-ever mined metal production for a December quarter and highest 9-month mined metal production at 799 kt.

Why It Matters: Hindustan Zinc's Q3 saw strong growth in mined and refined zinc, despite a dip in lead production.
