Hindustan Zinc share price is expected to remain in focus after the company outlined its next phase of expansion while also reporting record financial performance, signalling strong operational momentum, as per The Economic Times report.
As per chief executive officer Arun Misra, the company is preparing to announce the next phase of its growth strategy by July–August. Hindustan Zinc aims to significantly scale up its production capacity over the next few years, targeting a near doubling of output by the end of the decade.
The company currently operates at a total capacity of 1.13 million tonnes, including around 919,000 tonnes of zinc. It has already announced an additional 250,000 tonnes of capacity, expected to be operational by FY29. In the upcoming phase, it plans to add roughly 650 KT through new smelting and processing facilities.
Looking ahead, the company has outlined a roadmap to reach 1.59 million tonnes of refined zinc capacity and 410,000 tonnes of lead capacity by 2030.
Silver production is also expected to see a substantial increase, rising to 1,500 tonnes annually from current levels of around 800 tonnes.
On the investment front, Vedanta is expected to allocate $500-600 million towards growth projects in the current financial year, alongside $400-450 million for maintenance, taking the total capital expenditure beyond $1 billion.
As per the report, discussions around a potential business demerger may resurface once Vedanta completes its ongoing restructuring exercise.
Earlier proposals to split the business had faced resistance, particularly from the government, which holds a 27.92% stake, citing concerns around minority shareholder interests.
Management indicated that any further discussion on this front would depend on the progress of the parent company’s restructuring.
The company reported strong earnings momentum, with the Q4 FY26 delivering record results. Profit for the quarter rose sharply to ₹5,033 crore, while revenue climbed to ₹13,544 crore. EBITDA also saw robust growth, reaching ₹7,747 crore, with margins expanding to 57%.
For FY26, Hindustan Zinc posted its highest-ever annual performance, with profit at ₹13,832 crore and revenue at ₹40,844 crore. EBITDA stood at ₹22,162 crore, supported largely by strong silver prices, which contributed a significant share to overall profitability.
For FY27, the company has guided refined metal production of around 1.1 million tonnes along with silver output of approximately 680 tonnes.
