Hindustan Zinc Ltd.HINDZINC₹452.80 -6.90%

Shares of Hindustan Zinc Ltd. continued their downward trajectory on Tuesday, hitting an intraday low of ₹451.20 after parent company Vedanta Limited divested a 1.6% stake in the company. 

Vedanta offloaded 66.7 million shares of Hindustan Zinc, raising approximately ₹3,028 crore in gross proceeds. The transaction is part of the group’s broader strategy to strengthen its balance sheet ahead of the planned demerger into sector-focused entities. The sale is expected to improve liquidity, reduce leverage, and enhance the financial flexibility of the group and its future standalone businesses.

Hindustan Zinc is the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top five silver producers globally. For FY25, the company reported a 33% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹10,353 crore, backed by record mined metal production of 1,095 kt and refined metal output of 1,052 kt. Revenue grew 18% to ₹34,083 crore, while EBITDA came in at ₹17,465 crore with a margin of 51%. Zinc cost of production fell to a four-year low of $1,052 per MT.

In the fourth quarter, revenue rose 20% year-on-year to ₹9,087 crore and net profit surged 47% to ₹3,003 crore, its best-ever Q4 performance. With a mine life exceeding 25 years, strong free cash flow, and low leverage, Hindustan Zinc remains one of the most financially resilient players in the metals sector.
