1. Includes 2.6kt, 3.7 kt,3.5 kt,13.7kt 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 quarterlyrefined metal production at 282kt driven by additional capacity unlocked by the debottlenecking projectsat 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 productionat 1114 kt, in line withhigher ore production and better grades.
- Best achieved refined zinc production at 851kt, up 3% YoYdriven by commissioning of debottlenecking projects &160 ktpa roaster alongwithPyro 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 at372MU, up7% YoYin line with wind velocity.
