Copper in India 
 Some thousands of years ago, ancient people 
of India used copper in Ayurveda, which is a 
holistic form of medicine for surgical tools. 
Hippocrates, who is the father of medicine, 
followed Indian practice of using copper for 
medicinal purposes. The early usage of this 
form of metal added its value and from the 
industry began to grow. Now, the situation is 
that the copper industry in the nation takes 
up 3% of the entire world of copper market. 
The country has earned the status of net 
exporter of copper from the position of net 
importer of Copper.
Factors contributing towards the 
development of copper industry in 
India 
 Domestic increase in industries like automobile, 
telecommunications, power and construction 
 Industrial development in the nation 
 Increase in the global usage of copper
COMPETITON
Top four companies in Copper 
industry in India 
 Sterlite Industries Limited 
 Hindustan Copper Limited 
 Hindalco (Birla) Industries Limited 
 Jhagadia Copper Limited
 Only four companies are leading the copper industry 
but they are also not sufficient to tap the opportunities 
available in this industry. 
 This industry demands more deployment of resources. 
 Many miners are required to meet the raw material 
demand of many other industries as is discussed later 
in this presentation. 
 There are also many other ways to survive and flourish 
in this industry as discussed in next section.
OPPORTUNITIES
No Supply Restriction 
 Reserves Under Exploration 
20,000 sq.km out of 60,000 sq.km 
 Indian refining capacity higher than local demand- net 
exporter of refined copper (Opportunity to trade 
internationally) 
 Opportunity to increase ore production through expansion 
and green field (without any hindrance of lack of 
technology in finding new fields and mining it) 
exploration.

Architectural Applications 
 Copper is heavily employed in the construction 
industry. It is commonly found in buildings because it 
is waterproof. This makes it suitable for cladding, 
roofing and plumbing. 
 Lightning rods and roofs are often built of copper.
Industrial Applications 
 The metals high ductility makes it a practical tool for 
industrial use. It is the third most widely used metal in 
industries next to aluminum and iron. It is commonly 
used in shipbuilding. The metal is alloyed with nickel.
Uses of Copper in Electricity 
 More than half of the copper produced is for 
electricity. Its core functions are transmission of 
electricity and power generation. The metal is 
employed in generators, motors and transformers. 
Properly set the metal produces electricity efficiently 
and safely. The metal is also used in wiring and 
electrical equipment. It is present in mobile phones, 
TV and computers.
Application in Transportation 
 The element is used in construction of trains, cars, 
lorries and other vehicles. Battery currents use high 
purity copper wire harness systems (an assembly 
of cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical 
power.). The current is transmitted to satellite 
navigation systems, on-board computers, central 
locking and lights.
Practical Daily Application of 
Copper 
 The metallic element is applied in fixtures, doorknobs 
and other elements in a house. Copper electroplated 
nickel silver is used for some knives, spoons, knives 
and frying pans.
Biological Applications 
 Modern medicine applies copper bracelets to reduce 
arthritis and joint pains. Its anti-microbial elements 
assist in producing hygienic surfaces in healthcare 
institutions.
