New Delhi: Hindustan Copper Ltd, a Government-owned corporation, in the Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Mines (India), is taking the necessary actions for increasing the output from its mines. For this, the integrated copper producer is expanding their projects to augmenting the mining capacity.
Hindustan Copper Limited is engaged in the mining and smelting of copper, having its production facilities and offices at various locations across the country. Back in 2012, the construction of a smelting refinery at Visakhapatnam with an annual capacity of 600,000 tonnes at a cost of Rs. 20 billion is under consideration.
HCL in 2010-11 anticipates the mine production capacity from 3.4 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 12.2 MTPA, which was later on revised to 20.2 MTPA to boost the domestic production.
"To augment production from mines, the company is taking requisite action and is also in the process of enhancing the mining capacity through ongoing mine expansion projects. Against the contract awarded for taking ore production from underground mine at Malanjkhand Copper Project (MCP) through decline route, the contractor has built up the infrastructure and development work is in progress," Hindustan Copper said in its annual report 2020-21, according to PTI.
