Vedanta Resources group firm Hindustan Zinc said it has hiked prices of lead by Rs 4,100 to 79,600 a tonne with effect from Thursday.
Lead is primarily used by battery manufacturing, rubber and paint industries.
The firm also announced an increase in silver rates by Rs 140 to 21,980 per kg. It reviews silver prices almost daily.
Silver is used in manufacturing of electrical contacts and conductors, mirrors and catalysis of chemical reactions. Its amalgamations are used in dental fillings.
However, it retained prices of zinc, used in producing galvanised steel, at previous week's level of Rs 76,100 per tonne.
The price revision is effective from today, a company circular said.
The miner revises rates of its base metals mostly twice a week in tandem with the price movement at the London Metal Exchange.
