At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery this month was up by 40 paise, or 0.35%, to Rs 114.40 per kg in 827 lots.
Metal for delivery in October also rose by a similar margin to Rs 115.65 per kg, with a business turnover of 52 lots.
Marketmen said besides a firming trend at the domestic spot market, strength in metal at the London Metal Exchange drove the upside in zinc prices.
