1. Includes 2.6 kt, 3.7 kt, 3.5 kt, 13.7 kt and 10.1 kt from Hindustan
Zinc Alloys (100% subsidiary of HZL) in 4QFY26, 4QFY25, 3QFY26, FY26 and FY25
respectively.
4QFY26:
§
Best ever quarterly mined metal production at 315 kt driven by
higher ore production & better grades.
§
Record quarterly refined metal production at 282 kt driven by additional
capacity unlocked by the debottlenecking projects at Chanderiya & Dariba, improved
operational efficiency & higher plant availability.
§
Silver production at 176 metric tonnes, up 11% QoQ in line with
lead production.
§
Wind power generation at 56 MU, in line with wind velocity.
FY26:
§
Highest ever mined metal production at 1114 kt, in line with higher
ore production and better grades.
§
Best achieved refined zinc production at 851 kt, up 3% YoY driven
by commissioning of debottlenecking projects & 160 ktpa roaster along with Pyro
operations on zinc-lead mode for full year.
§
Refined lead production at 197 kt, down 13% YoY, primarily on
account of Pyro operations ran partially on lead mode in the previous period &
lower plant availability.
§
Silver production at 627 metric tonnes, in line with lead
production and lower silver input from mines in accordance with the mining
sequence.
§
Wind power generation at 372 MU, up 7% YoY in line with wind
velocity.
