COPPER METAL [CODE NO.3758]
Copper was a scarce metal with respect to India but recent setting up of copper smelters has entirely changed the scenario of copper production/availability in the country. However, these copper smelters, except that of HCL, are producing copper based on the imported concentrates. In the recent past the country’s status has changed from a net importer to a net exporter
Over the years the use of copper has witnessed growth in electrical, transport, Consumer durables, engineering, construction, telecommunication etc. sectors. In the present survey the demand has been projected up to 2024-25 in the above sectors keeping in view the economic growth in future. The domestic demand works out to be 2.3 million tones. To meet the demand in future the copper industry has already geared up. The supply projection of 2.8 million tons by 2024-25will satisfy the domestic demand in addition to exports demand.
The world scenario vis-à-vis India is necessary to find out the country’s position. The world’s leading producers with their present and future projects are also discussed in the report. The global consumption of copper has been projected at 31 million tons by 2025.
The prices are the dominating economic indicators to control the copper production activity. Enough weightage is given to this aspect by analysing the prices for present and future.
With this background, Indian Bureau of Mines has taken up for the first time a Market Survey Study on metal namely copper. In this study an attempt has been made to study the present and future availability of metal from primary as well as secondary sources and their demand in present and future based on the role in overall development of end-user industry.
