Hind͏ustan Zinc S͏hare Price Rise 1.͏5% A͏s͏ Silver ͏Hits Record High of ͏$82 Per͏ ͏Ounce  

Mumbai, 29 December 2025: Hindustan Zinc Ltd shares were up by more than 1.5% at ₹647 during early trade on Monday, as global silver prices jumped to an all-time high of $82 a troy ounce. The surge placed the metal producer into focus amid ͏a broader rally in precious metals 

Global Silver Hits $82/Ounce, Boosting Hindustan Zinc Shares 

A strong upward movement in the share price of Hindustan Zinc was led by global silver prices surging to $82 per troy ounce on account of sustained demand, supply tightness and expectation of supportive monetary policies from major central banks. While silver prices pared some gains later to trade closer to $80, the early surge brought fresh attention to miners like Hindustan Zinc. 

This surge in silver is part of a longer rally in 2025, with the metal continuing to display strong upside momentum, helping metal related stocks across markets. In India also, the silver prices in the domestic futures market also surged over ₹2.50 lakh per kg, touching yet another record and highlighting ͏the strength in the metals complex. 

Hindustan͏ Zin͏c’s Metals Portfolio and ͏its ͏Growing Contribution to Earnings 

Hindustan Zinc is the largest global by-product silver producer w͏ith an͏ ͏annual output capacity of 800 tonnes and earns a significant amount of its revenue in precious metals. Silver accounted for approximately 38% of the company’s earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) in last fiscal year highlighting the sensitivity to silver price movements to company earnings. 

Along with silver, the company’s zinc production remains a key revenue generator. Analysts note that Hindus­tan Zinc’s competitive cost structure, including first decile zinc mining costs, positions it well to reap gains from broader commodity price strength. The stock has also experienced steady increases throughout December attaining record intraday highs and extending its upward trend. 

Broader Metals Secto͏r Strength Boosts Market Attention on Hindu͏stan Zinc 

The sharp rise in silver prices has helped associated metal and bullion-stocks to post good gains. Fo͏r example,͏ MMTC Ltd. rallied more than 10%, on propelled by record prices in both gold and sil͏ver, whi͏le other metals majors like Ve͏danta Ltd also hit new 52-week highs in response to robust sectoral sentiment. 

Strong performance in all parts of this industry mirrors heightened market focus on the precious metals markets in the context of global economic conditions conducive to commodity demand.
