Hindustan Zinc Q2 Results: Net profit skyrockets 142% YoY to Rs 6,412 crore, revenue soars 77%

Hindustan Zinc on Monday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 6,412 crore for the second quarter of the ongoing financial year 2027, marking a sharp 142% year-on-year increase from the Rs 2,649 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

The metal major’s revenue from operations shot up more than 76.5% YoY to Rs 15,093 crore during the July-September quarter of FY27, from Rs 8,549 crore reported in the year-ago period. This was driven by higher metal prices, increased metal production, higher by-product realisation, and a stronger dollar. Total expenses grew nearly 31.5% YoY to Rs 6,895 crore during the quarter under review.

Hindustan Zinc’s EBITDA more than doubled, surging around 108% YoY to Rs 9,285 crore, while the EBITDA margin improved to 62% from 52% in the year-ago period. This came as the company’s net silver sales surged 141% YoY to Rs 4,111 crore while zinc sales jumped 54% YoY to Rs 8,224 crore. Lead and other metal sales jumped 35% and 151% YoY, respectively.

Zinc Cost of Production (COP) excluding royalty stood at $703 per tonne during the quarter, better by 29% YoY on account of better mined grades, increased metal production, better renewable power consumption and higher by-product realisations, partly offset by lower domestic coal usage and increased input commodities prices in line with the ongoing geopolitical crisis globally, the company said.
