COPPER

Copper is essential for any kind of living. It delivers electricity and clean water into our homes and cities and makes an important contribution to sustainable development. Our manufacturer/producer is the nation’s only vertically integrated copper producing company as it manufactures copper right from the stage of mining to beneficiation, smelting, refining and casting of refined copper metal into downstream saleable products. The Company markets copper cathodes, copper wire bar, continuous cast copper rod and by-products, such as anode slime (containing gold, silver, etc.), copper sulphate and sulphuric acid. In normal practice, more than 90% of the sales revenue is generated from cathode and continuous cast copper rods.

CONTINUOUS CAST COPPER ROD:

The plant produces Continuous Cast Copper Rods (CCR) and has a capacity of producing 60,000 TPA. The inputs, i.e. cathodes are sourced from the Company’s own unit at Jhagaria and Ghatsila (i.e. GCP and ICC) as well as through direct purchase of cathodes. The unit also undertakes tolling of cathodes. The Project has an installed capacity to produce 60,000 MT per year of Continuous Cast Copper Wire Rods of 8mm, 11mm, 12.5mm, 16mm and 19.6mm diameters. The product is offered for sale in the form of coils, each coil weighing 3.0 MT, 2.650 MT and 1.00 MT. The Southwire Continuous Rod System (SCR) is accepted as the world’s leading technology for producing premium quality continuous cast rods. Rods produced by this technology meet the most exacting standards conforming to ASTM B 49/2010 &/or IS 12444/1988.

COPPER CATHODE:

Our manufacturer’s is a secondary Copper Smelter and Refinery complex. It is capable of producing 50,000 tpa of copper cathodes conforming to LME-A grade. The plant was setup in technical collaboration with Outokumpu Technology AB (formerly Boliden Contech AB), Sweden. It was based on modern and proven technology that is capable of processing a wide array of copper bearing materials including e-scrap to produce LME-A grade copper cathode.

FOREIGN TRADE

Exports

The exports of copper from India are in various forms, such as, copper ores & concentrates, refined copper, copper & alloys, master alloys of copper, blister & other unrefined copper, copper alloys, brass & bronze, scrap, cement copper, mattes and powder & flakes.

Exports of copper ores & concentrates almost trebled to 181,642 tonnes in 2018-19 from 61,005 tonnes in 2017-18. China was the major exporter country (86%) followed by Republic of Korea (10%). Exports of refined copper decreased to 47,917 tonnes in 2018-19 from 3,78,555 tonnes in 2017-18. Exports of refined copper were mainly to China (75%), Taiwan (13%), Malaysia & Republic of Korea (5% each) and Bangladesh (2%). Exports of copper & alloys (including brass & bronze) were at 1,34,608 tonnes in 2018-19 as against 5,11,485 tonnes in 2017-18. Export of copper (scrap) were at 5,077 tonnes in 2018-19 as against 3,273 tonnes in 2017-18.
