Special dividends in excess of Rs 8,000 crore were paid out over FY25-26, depleting Hindustan Zinc&#8217;s cash reserves and reducing the company&#8217;s capacity to invest in mine expansion and new projects.<\/p><p>Minority shareholders (including the Government of India, which owns 29.5%) and institutional investors have expressed concern that Hindustan Zinc is being used as a cash cow for the parent group&#8217;s debt servicing rather than being managed for long-term value creation.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_2_Zinc_Price_Weakness_%E2%80%94_LME_Price_Cycle\"><\/span><strong>Reason 2: Zinc Price Weakness \u2014 LME Price Cycle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Zinc prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) declined from $3,500\/tonne in early 2024 to approximately $2,600-2,800\/tonne in Q4 FY26. Zinc is an industrial metal primarily used for galvanising steel \u2014 its price is a direct function of global manufacturing and construction activity. With China&#8217;s real estate sector still in slowdown and global manufacturing growth tepid, zinc demand recovery has been delayed.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_3_Mine_Life_and_Ore_Grade_Decline\"><\/span><strong>Reason 3: Mine Life and Ore Grade Decline<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Hindustan Zinc operates the Rampura Agucha and Sindesar Khurd mines in Rajasthan. Ore grades have been gradually declining as mines go deeper, requiring higher mining costs per tonne of metal produced. Capital expenditure for deeper mining increases the breakeven cost per tonne, compressing margins at current zinc prices.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_4_Vedanta_Divestment_Uncertainty\"><\/span><strong>Reason 4: Vedanta Divestment Uncertainty<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Vedanta has been discussing partial divestment of Hindustan Zinc for several years. Uncertainty about whether Vedanta will sell shares (which could be a positive for corporate governance) or continue dividend extraction creates strategic uncertainty.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_5_Silver_Business_Potential_%E2%80%94_Underappreciated_Catalyst\"><\/span><strong>Reason 5: Silver Business Potential \u2014 Underappreciated Catalyst<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Hindustan Zinc is also a significant silver producer, with silver revenues growing as a byproduct of zinc mining. At elevated silver prices, the silver business contribution could be a positive surprise for FY27 earnings.

The drag is parent group governance. Recovery to Rs 480-560 requires either zinc prices recovering above $3,000\/tonne or a positive change in Vedanta&#8217;s dividend extraction strategy.
