Hindustan Copper Expects Copper Prices Above ₹14,000, Plans Expansion with Cost Discipline
Hindustan Copper's Chairman and Managing Director, Anupam Misra, stated that global copper prices are expected to remain above ₹14,000 per tonne due to a supply-demand gap, with demand at 28 million tonnes and supply at 23 million tonnes. Despite price fluctuations, the company's strong cost discipline, reflected in an EBITDA margin above 50%, ensures profitability. Hindustan Copper plans to invest over ₹7,000 crore in the next five to six years to expand mining capacity to 12.2 million tonnes per annum through modernization and capacity additions.
