Used in flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, ammunition, and semiconductor compounds. Recently classified as critical by both the US and EU due to China's 48% production share.
Why it matters for India: India has limited antimony resources. Hindustan Zinc encounters antimony as a byproduct. Recent Chinese export restrictions have made antimony supply a growing concern for Indian manufacturers.

...On the lead-acid side, you mentioned that antimony prices have risen sharply. Can you just tell the contribution in the raw material basket, because lead, plastic and sulfur are the major contributors? So I mean, how would the rise in antimony prices impact the margin going forward? Avik Roy: Two questions. One is what is the impact of antimony is currently, and what...

...The next value unlock is antimony extraction. We have now secured access to the niche technology required for this segment. The plant commissioning timeline is quarter three financial year 27. The plant will process 1,000 metric tons of lead-antimony bullion with expected output of approximately 100 tons of antimony per month. Estimated capex for this project is around INR20 crores....
...As far as the profitability and operating margins of the current quarter is concerned, they are affected negatively by material cost, predominantly some of the alloys like antimony alloys. And also, we had a challenge with respect to the power costs because there are certain fuel purchase cost adjustments that are being passed on by the government in the last coupl...
