As per its expansion plan, Hindustan Copper will be investing over Rs 3,000 crore on eight projects across the country to increase its production.

The company, which has projected a production of 3.45 million tonnes of copper in 2011-12, has set an ambitious target of producing 12.41 million tonnes of red metal by 2016-17.
