Hindustan Zinc Q3 mined metal production marginally rises to 254,000 tonnes

Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc on Monday said its mined metal output registered a marginal rise of one per cent to 2,54,000 tonnes in the third quarter of the current fiscal. The company's mined metal production was 2,52,000 tonnes in the year-ago period. In a statement, the company said that the mined metal production stood at 254kt in the third quarter of the current fiscal "driven by higher ore production and marginally down QoQ (Quarter-on-Quarter) due to overall mined metal grades." Its refined metal production at 2,57,000 tonnes declined two per cent during the period under review. Hindustan Zinc's integrated zinc production during the third quarter dropped by two per cent to 2,10,000 tonnes. "Refined lead production was at 46kt, down one per cent YoY," it said. Hindustan Zinc is an integrated producer of zinc, lead and silver. The company has its headquarters at Udaipur in Rajasthan where it has its zinc lead mines and smelting complexes.

HZL to spend over $1 bn in shift to turn into a green energy user

The Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc (HZL), which is the world's second-largest manufacturer of the metal, is planning to invest over USD 1 billion (around Rs 8,270 crore) to convert its diesel-fired mining vehicles into battery-operated ones and also to fully turn a green energy user, over the next five years. The Udaipur-based company, which is also the sole manufacturer of silver and the largest maker of zinc and lead in the country, is already running four of its 900 mining vehicles on battery on a pilot basis. The company with an annual production of 1 million tonne zinc, up from 1 lakh tonne when it was privatized by the government in 2002, also expects stable demand in the March quarter despite the growing fears of a global recession, its chief executive Arun Misra told PTI over the weekend. The government still owns 29 per cent in the cash-rich HZL and has three board members as well. On this, Misra said he recently met the government officials in New Delhi and the full ...

Govt to check foreign fund appetite in Hindustan Zinc before stake dilution

The government will assess the appetite of large foreign funds in Hindustan Zinc before taking a decision on the timing of dilution of its minority equity stake in the Anil Agarwal-owned metal company, an official has said. The government currently holds a 29.54 per cent stake in HZL, while a 5.54 per cent stake is with public shareholders. Mining mogul Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Ltd is the promoter with a 64.92 per cent stake in HZL. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the sale of 124.79 crore shares or 29.54 per cent stake the government holds in the zinc producer. At the current price of Rs 316 a share, a 29.54 per cent stake would fetch about Rs 39,000 crore to the government. The official said since public float is only about 5 per cent, it would not be feasible for big investors, who put in lump sum funds in the company, as share availability in the market is limited. "Merchant bankers will first assess the interest of large fund houses in HZL. Once we get

Hindustan Zinc mined metal production marginally up at 255,000 tonnes in Q2

Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc's mined metal output rose by 3 per cent to 2,55,000 tonnes in the July-September quarter on the back of better grades and improved mill recoveries. The company's mined metal production was at 2,48,000 tonnes in the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal. The refined metal production at 2,46,000 tonnes was 18 per cent higher on account of improved smelter performance and better mined metal availability among others, Hindustan Zinc has said in a statement. The wind power generation was down by 20 per cent at 124 million units (MU) for the second quarter of the current financial year due to lower wind velocity and seasonality impact. Hindustan Zinc is the country's only integrated producer of zinc, lead and silver.
