Hindustan Copper (HCL) is planning to ramp up copper ore production from the Malanjkhand project in Madhya Pradesh to 2.2 million tonnes from the current 1.6 million tonnes and it will be eventually increased to five million tonnes in the next 6-7 years. HCL was targeting to increase its total copper ore production to 12.2 million tonnes per annum by FY'29 in its first phase of expansion from 3.57 million tonnes in FY22 and was targeting 3.9 million tonnes in the current fiscal.

The company has lined up Rs 350 crore in capex for the current fiscal and of that, Rs 250 crore would be pumped into the Malanjkhand project. HCL was also awaiting lease renewal from the Jharkhand government to reopen the Rakha mines which was closed in 2001-02 due to operational reasons.

Hindustan Copper’s principal activities include mining of copper ore, concentration of copper ore into copper concentrate through a beneficiation process and also smelting, refining and extruding of the copper concentrate into refined copper in downstream saleable products.
