Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) is India’s largest zinc-lead-silver producer and one of the top 10 global metal giants. It controls over 75% of India’s zinc market and operates some of the deepest mines in the world, including the Rampura Agucha and Sindesar Khurd mines.
HZL is not just a metal company—it’s a strategic player in India's infrastructure, EV revolution, and the clean energy silver boom.
HZL has once again rewarded shareholders with an interim dividend of ₹10 per share declared in June 2025, following a strong Q4 performance.

| Year | Share Price (Avg) | Dividend (₹) | Return (YoY) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | ₹290 | ₹21.30 | +38% |
| 2022 | ₹311 | ₹30.00 | +7% |

HZL pays one of the highest dividends in India, regularly outperforming even blue-chip PSUs. It’s a favorite of HNIs and NRI investors seeking passive income.
Zinc: Key for galvanizing, EV batteries, smart cities
Silver: Crucial for solar panels, semiconductors, and AI chips
HZL is riding both waves with India’s highest silver output.
Debt-Free operations
₹22,000+ crore in cash reserves
Annual revenue ~₹36,000+ crore
High EBITDA margins (>45%)
With 29.5% stake still held by the Government of India, future disinvestment/privatization offers significant re-rating potential.
| Year | Base Target | Bull Case |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ₹485 | ₹525 |
| 2026 | ₹525 | ₹595 |
| 2030 | ₹710 | ₹950+ |
| 👍 Pros | 👎 Cons |
|---|---|
| Best-in-class dividend yield | Commodity price dependency |
| Zero debt, strong cash flows | Limited growth in zinc volume |
| Dominant market share | Parent company (Vedanta) risk |
| Silver upside (AI & Solar) | PSU disinvestment overhang |
✅ If you're looking for:
Safe and consistent returns
Top-tier dividend payouts
Exposure to silver & clean tech metals
👉 Then Hindustan Zinc is a no-brainer BUY for long-term investors.
It’s not a multibagger overnight stock—but it's a cash cow that rewards patience. Add it to your “core holding” portfolio and let the dividends do the work.
