Analyzing The Production of Copper in India

India is also involved in the production of submersible winding wire, braided connectors, copper flexible connectors, stranded wire and armored cables. Very few companies in India are involved in refining and extraction of copper from its ores.

Although India is not a major producer of copper ore, it is an important producer of refined copper. India’s production of refined copper is approximately around 4of total world production and in terms of figures it is around six lakh tons. India is in fact one of the major importer of copper ore. It exports huge amount of copper ore and uses it to produce refined form of copper ore. This can be attributed to shortage of copper mines in India. The copper production in India depends on the import of copper ore exclusively. There are three major organizations in India which handle production of copper from its ore. They are Birla Copper, Hindustan Copper Ltd., and Sterlite Industries. Among these 3 companies, Hindustan Copper Ltd. Belongs to Indian public sector and the other two are the parts of private sector. Incidentally, meager quantities of copper produced in India are extracted from the mines of copper located at Khetri and Malanjkhand parts of the country. India is also involved in the production of submersible winding wire, braided connectors, copper flexible connectors, stranded wire and armored cables.
