Hindustan Copper Nine-Month PAT Soars 71 Per Cent

Hindustan Copper Limited's Board approved financial results for the quarter ending December 2025 and reported its best-ever cumulative nine-month performance for FY 26. The Schedule 'A' Mini-Ratna, Category-I Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Mines recorded revenue from operations of Rs 19,218.4 million (mn) in the nine-month period. This was about 43 per cent higher than Rs 13,395.6 mn in the corresponding period of FY 25.

Profit before tax for the nine months to December 2025 was Rs 6,405.1 mn, roughly 71 per cent higher than Rs 3,738.7 mn a year earlier. Profit after tax was Rs 4,742.7 mn compared with Rs 2,779.4 mn in the prior nine months, an increase of 71 per cent. EBITDA was Rs 7,778.1 mn and the EBITDA margin exceeded 40 per cent compared with around 37 per cent previously.

The Board declared an interim dividend for FY 2025-26 of Rs one per share on the face value of Rs five per share. The company made a one-time actuarial provision of Rs 957.5 mn for a new Post-Retirement Medical Scheme in the quarter under review in line with Ind AS-19. Management said the reported results are after the provision and reflect operational improvements, higher volumes and favourable metal prices.

The company noted national efforts to secure critical minerals for technologies such as microchips, batteries, electric vehicles, clean energy systems and artificial intelligence, noting that these resources require advanced hard rock processing. Hindustan Copper is positioned to enter the critical minerals sector by leveraging its expertise in hard rock mining and mineral beneficiation to support technological and economic priorities. The Board attributed the strong performance to employee commitment and stakeholder support and signalled strategic intent to expand into priority mineral areas.
