Revision in FY27 zinc CoP guidance to USD 825-850/t from USD 975-1,000/t reflects the benefit of higher sulphuric acid realisations, rising renewable energy penetration and improved operating efficiencies, despite some geopolitical cost pressures.”The Systematix expert said that silver production guidance of 680t for FY27 remains intact, with volumes expected to rise further to ~730-750t in FY28 supported by debottlenecking efforts.

We remain constructive on the underlying commodity backdrop, with both zinc and silver expected to remain in supply deficit, although near-term prices could remain volatile amid geopolitical developments, energy costs, and currency movements.indusHindustan Zinc share price targetDecoding the technical chart pattern for short-to-medium term investors, Mahesh M Ojha, VP — Research and Business Development at KC Securities, said, “The stock is looking positive on the weekly chart.
