Hindustan Zinc Share Price Surges to 52-Week High as Silver Hits Record: What Investors Should Know

Hindustan Zinc shares advanced 3% on December 29, 2025, touching a 52-week high of ₹656.25. This upmove came as silver prices soared to a new record of $82 per troy ounce, creating momentum for companies in the silver mining sector. 

Hindustan Zinc: Share Movement Driven by Silver Surge 

The share price of Hindustan Zinc reached ₹656.25 on the BSE, a 52-week high, following a solid rise in silver prices globally. March futures for silver also climbed to ₹2,54,174/kg on the Multi Commodity Exchange before retreating slightly to $80.  

The current silver rally, backed by rising global demand, limited supply, and central banks’ easing policies, has fuelled increased interest in commodity-linked stocks. 

Silver’s Growing Contribution in Profits 

Hindustan Zinc is among the top 5 silver producers globally, with a manufacturing capability of about 800 tonnes annually. Due to a significant share of the company’s earnings coming from silver sales, the spike in silver prices contributes positively to profitability.  

For 2HFY26, about 37% of silver volumes have been hedged at $37, while spot prices remain much higher.

Improved Cost Efficiency Enhancing Margins 

Production cost for zinc, excluding royalty, declined from $1,257 in FY23 to $1,002 in 1HFY26. Lower input costs were driven by better ore grades, increased domestic coal usage, and renewable energy adoption.  

These improvements aid operating margins even as deeper mining operations continue. Stability in production costs is anticipated based on operational efficiencies.
