The company reported a mined metal output of 268 kt (2,68,000 tonnes), a 1% increase compared to the same quarter in the previous year as per the exchange filings. 

First Quarter Production Highlights 

In the first quarter of FY27, Hindustan Zinc achieved a mined metal production of 268 kt, marking a 1% increase from 265 kt in the first quarter of FY26. The saleable metal production reached 260 kt, reflecting a 4% rise from 250 kt in the same period last year.  

The refined zinc production was 213 kt, up by 6% from 202 kt, while refined lead production slightly decreased by 2% to 47 kt from 48 kt. 

Silver production remained stable at 149 tonnes, with a marginal decrease of 0.4% when compared to the previous year. In terms of silver measured in million ounces, the production was 4.8 million ounces, maintaining a similar level to the previous year. 

Wind Power Generation and Operational Insights 

Hindustan Zinc's wind power generation was recorded at 133 million units, showing a slight decrease of 1% from 134 million units in the previous year. The company attributed its best-ever first-quarter mined metal production to improved grades.  

The refined metal production was supported by capacity enhancements through debottlenecking initiatives at Chanderiya and Dariba, along with a 160 ktpa roaster at Debari, although these were offset by planned maintenance activities.
