Hindustan Zinc Share Price Soars 14% in 3 Days as Silver Prices Hit Record Highs

Hindustan Zinc continued its strong upward move on Friday, rising 7% in intraday trade to ₹559.4 and touching a fresh 52-week high. The stock has now gained over 14% in just 3 days, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.72% rise during the same period.

Why is Hindustan Share Price Rising?

The recent rally is directly linked to silver prices hitting new record highs. On December 11, MCX Silver futures touched ₹1,99,220/kg. Hindustan Zinc is the world’s fourth-largest silver producer and India’s only integrated listed silver company, so higher silver prices directly boost its profitability.

Silver’s Big Contribution to Profits

Hindustan Zinc produces about 700 tonnes of silver every year. Silver contributes a large share to the company’s earnings, 41.5% of total profit in Q1 FY26 and 41% in Q2 FY26.

Expansion Plans Underway

The company plans to significantly increase silver production, aiming to expand capacity from 800 tpa to 1,500 tpa.
These expansions include:

• Increasing silver output by 25–30 tonnes at the Chanderiya Fumer unit
• Adding 27 tonnes through the HAL plant
