New Delhi: Hindustan Zinc Limited i.e. HZL has recorded tremendous profit in the July-September quarter of FY26. Silver has contributed significantly to the company's earnings.

This shows the company's strategic strength and growing focus in the premium metal segment.
HZL recorded a consolidated profit of Rs 2649 crore in the Q2 of FY26. This is 19 percent more than the previous quarter. Silver contributed about 40 percent of the company's total profit, which is about Rs 1060 million. The company has shown a strong grip in the precious metals business.
Hindustan Zinc recorded silver income of Rs 1706 million in the quarter. This is an increase of 10 percent quarter on quarter and 20 percent year on year. The rise in silver prices in the global market and the company's strong operational performance made this spectacular growth possible.
