Adani's Kutch Copper Plant Faces Technical Challenges in First Year of Operation

Adani Enterprise Ltd.'s $1.2 billion copper plant in Kutch has faced technical setbacks since its commissioning about ten months ago, producing 94,000 tons of refined copper from April to February against a 500,000-tonne annual capacity. Sources report operational difficulties and a closure for repairs in late March, while a company spokesperson denies engineering issues, citing steady progress and customer contracts. Satellite data indicates limited sustained smelting activity at the site since last June, raising questions about the plant's full operational status.
