BSE Metal Sector Regulatory Filings — April 28, 2026
Hindustan Zinc's record Q4 FY26 results, with revenue up 49% YoY/23% QoQ to ₹13,544 Cr and net profit up 68% YoY/29% QoQ to ₹5,033 Cr, highlight robust operational performance and cost efficiency (zinc CPO down 9% YoY) in the BSE METAL sector, setting a high bar for peers. Full FY26 delivered mined metal of 1.1 MT and refined metal 1,048 KT, underscoring sustained growth amid favorable metal prices. Adani Enterprises' partnership in Google's 1 GW AI Hub signals diversification into high-growth data infrastructure with clean energy ties, boosting long-term sentiment. JSW Steel sees potential institutional backing from LIC's acquisition intent disclosure, while Jindal Steel's upcoming earnings call on May 2 offers near-term catalyst. Portfolio-level trends show strong YoY revenue/EBITDA growth outlier in Hind Zinc (61% YoY EBITDA), contrasting neutral updates elsewhere; mixed sentiment stems from Hind Zinc's safety incident and silver shortfall. Sector implications include capex expansion (Hind Zinc $500-600M FY27) and GDP growth forecast of 6.4-6.9%, positioning metals for volume-led recovery.
