Hindustan Zinc reported FY26 revenue of Rs 40,844 crore, up 20% year on year, with net profit rising 33.6% to Rs 13,832 crore. The company also launched EcoZen, billed as Asia's first low-carbon zinc, with a carbon footprint 75% below the industry average. Renewable energy now makes up 18% of its power mix, with a stated target of 70% by FY28. The results show stronger EBITDA growth than revenue, pointing to improved cost efficiency. The company also became the first Indian metals firm to join the International Council on Mining and Metals and received Zinc Mark certification at two sites. Investors and buyers tracking industrial decarbonization will want more detail on how EcoZen's carbon footprint is measured and what capex is planned to hit the renewable target.
