Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) today announced its operational and financial results for the second quarter of FY27, demonstrating strong resilience as operational volume gains fully offset global commodity price headwinds. Driven by a major surge in silver output, the company reported a record consolidated net profit of Rs 6,412 crore for Q2.

Despite average LBMA silver prices falling 14% quarter-on-quarter to $62.6 per ounce (down from $73.2 in Q1), Hindustan Zinc’s silver revenue expanded 7% sequentially to Rs 4,111 crore, up from Rs 3,839 crore in the preceding quarter.

​Key Performance Highlights for Q2 FY27:

Silver Revenue Growth: Increased 7% sequentially to Rs 4,111 crore, accounting for 27% of total revenue and 43% (Rs 3,609 crore) of total segment profits.

Volume Expansion: Silver sales volume jumped 16% quarter-on-quarter (and 17% YoY) to 173 tonnes, powered by a 20% YoY increase in silver production.

Record Financials: Consolidated revenue from operations surged 77% YoY to Rs 15,093 crore. EBITDA reached an all-time high of Rs 9,285 crore (up 108% YoY), expanding operating margins to 62%.

Operational Capabilities: Record mined metal production of 271 kilo tonnes (up 5% YoY) alongside refined lead output reaching 51 kilo tonnes (up 9% QoQ), directly boosting silver recovery from smelting debottlenecking.

Overall Profitability: Net profit rose 142% YoY and 17.2% sequentially to a record ₹6,412 crore.

Silver continues to act as a primary growth anchor for Hindustan Zinc, contributing approximately 45% of total company profitability over the first half of FY27. The company’s integrated metal production and increased smelter capacity successfully shielded overall performance from short-term commodity price dips, sustaining strong shareholder value.
