New Delhi: Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) on Friday reported 4.7 percent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 2,234 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 on account of decline in revenue.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 2,345 crore in the year-ago period, HZL said in a filing to BSE.
In a statement, HZL said the decline in revenue was due to reduced volumes and decreased prices for zinc and lead commodities, although this was somewhat compensated by increased silver prices, a stronger dollar, and better by-product realisations.
Total expenses during April-June FY26 dropped to Rs 5,065 crore over Rs 5,284 crore in the year-ago period, the filing said.
"Coupled with the addition of blocks of critical minerals and rare earth elements, we are strategically poised to transform into a true multi-metal powerhouse, unlocking sustained value for all our stakeholders," HZL Chief Executive Officer Arun Misra said.
On the project updates, the company said 160 kilo tonne per annum (KTPA) roaster at Debari, Rajasthan will be commissioned in the second quarter of the current financial year.
The 510 KTPA Fertiliser plant is under progress and is likely to be completed by first quarter of FY'27.
Hindustan Zinc is the world's largest integrated zinc producer and amongst the top five silver producers globally. The company holds a market share of about 77 percent of the primary zinc market in the country.
