Indian Copper ScenarioA Snapshot
India has limited copper ore reserve contributing about 2 % of world reserves.
Under Exploration:
- Only 20,000 sq.km. area explored out of a potential 60,000 sq.km
- Reserve to production and reserve to resource ratio very low.
Mining production is just 0.2% of world’s production , whereas refined copper production is about 4% of world’s production.
Global ranking : 4th in smelter production and 8th in refined consumption.
Indian Refining capacity higher than local demand – net exporter of refined copper.
Opportunity to increase ore production through expansion and green field exploration.
India’s Cu consumption is concentrated in electrical in contrast with the rest of the
world which is concentrated in building and constructionData: CRU
