Hindustan Zinc shares climbed more than 3% in a single session, touching a one-week high. The company's market capitalization rose by about 6815 billion rupees on the day.
The move was supported by three key factors. First, the U.S. dollar index fell 0.6% over the week, its steepest weekly decline since April, lifting precious metals sentiment. MCX silver futures for the September contract rose more than 2% to 238,000 rupees per kg.
Second, the company released its FY27 Q1 operational update. Refined zinc output increased 6% year on year to 213,000 tonnes, while silver production edged down 0.4%.
Hindustan Zinc is India's largest zinc producer, accounting for about 80% of the country's output, and ranks among the world's top 10 silver producers.
