Hindustan Zinc Reports Highest Ever Third Quarter Mined Metal & Refined Metal Production

Hindustan Zinc Limited, the World's Largest Integrated Zinc Producer, has announced its production numbers for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The company reported its best ever third quarter mined metal production at 276 kt, driven mainly by higher ore production. The refined metal production was also at a record high of 270 kt, due to the commissioning of debottlenecking projects at Chanderiya & Dariba, ramp up of 160 Ktpa roaster at Debari, and better plant availability. However, refined lead production was lower by 11% YoY due to 'pyro operations on lead only mode' in the previous period. Saleable silver production was at 158 metric tonnes, up 10% QoQ in line with lead production. Wind power generation was at 50 MU, up 5% YoY in line with wind velocity. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the company reported the highest ever nine months mined metal production at 799 kt, refined zinc production at 624 kt, and wind power generation at 316 MU.
