Hindustan Zinc Shares of Ltd. jumped up to 3.4 per cent on BSE on December 26. The price created a new 52-week high of Rs 646. This stock has seen a rise of up to 10 percent in the last 4 trading sessions. The important reason for this is the spectacular rise in silver prices. Silver crossed $ 75 per ounce for the first time globally. On Friday, silver price on MCX created a new high of Rs 233183 per kg.
In the year 2025, silver has so far increased by 151 percent in the foreign markets and 153 percent in the domestic market. Strong industrial demand, buying for safe investment and continuous reduction in global supply are the important reasons behind this. Silver has performed better than gold this year.
Hindustan Zinc Included in top 5 silver producers
Hindustan Zinc, a subsidiary of Vedanta Limited, is one of the top 5 silver producing companies in the world. Therefore, the company is making profit from the rise in silver. The company has a production capacity of around 800 tonnes and 38 per cent of its EBIT is directly linked to silver. As silver prices are rising, expectations of margin expansion for the company are gaining momentum. It is getting further support from low cost of mining and strong realization.
Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal said in a post on X on Tuesday that silver has moved out of gold’s shadow and has entered a prolonged structural phase. This phase is driven by technology-based demand from sectors such as solar cells and defense equipment. It further said that Hindustan Zinc, being India’s only silver producer and a flagship company of Vedanta Group, is benefiting from the surge in silver demand.
