About Hindustan Copper Ltd

Hindustan Copper Ltd. (HCL) is a Miniratna Category-1 firm that works as a Central Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Mines. In a way, it shapes the copper industry in India. The company was founded in November 1967 with the goal of bringing together all of the government's copper exploration and mining holdings. It's the only vertically integrated producer of primary refined copper in the country. It handles everything from mining and beneficiation to smelting, refining, and making value-added goods like continuous cast copper wire rods. As of March 31, 2025, the Government of India, through the President, owns 66.14% of the company. On paper, this government ownership gives the corporation some stability.

The National Mineral Development Corporation in Khetri, Rajasthan, gave the firm its first assets in 1968. Then, in 1972, it made a big move when it took over the facilities of Indian Copper Corporation Limited in Ghatsila, Jharkhand, and nationalised them. This was a very important step since it brought a lot of smelting and refining capabilities under the HCL umbrella. It changed the company from a pure-play mining operation to an integrated one. At this point, the company was putting together a whole value chain. The opening of a 31,000 TPA smelter in 1976 and the start of the Malanjkhand Copper Project (MCP) in Madhya Pradesh in 1982 solidified its place even further. MCP, which has since become a key part of its business, greatly increased its mining capability.

HCL then went on to improve its downstream capabilities. In 1989, it started the Taloja Copper Project (TCP) in Maharashtra, which is a continuous cast rod factory with a capacity of 60,000 tonnes per year that uses advanced Southwire technology. This was a clear deliberate move to get a bigger share of the market for products with greater value added. The company's finances have also changed since then.

HCL has changed its focus over the past ten years or so to a major expansion strategy to meet the growing demand in its own country. The goal is to raise its mining capacity from about 3.21 million tonnes per year (MTPA) to at least 12.41 MTPA. This isn't an easy task; it requires a multi-faceted approach that includes reviving closed mines like Kendadih and building new ones like Banwas and Chapri-Sideshwar, as well as expanding existing mines like Malanjkhand, Khetri, and Surda. The corporation has made a lot of financial commitments to these projects. Capital spending on mine expansion and development has been continuously expanding in the years running up to FY2020. The fact that the company is making this investment using money from both its own resources and loans shows that it wants to grow in the long term.

HCL has also been using new technologies and looking at new ways to do things. The company has begun processing low-grade sulphide ores, which was possible because copper prices are high. It is also doing a lot of research on bio-leaching technologies for these ores. A big step forward in FY25 was the opening of a 4.5MWp solar plant at the Malanjkhand project. This showed how much more interest there is in renewable energy. The company is also using technology to make its operations more efficient. For example, in FY25, it put in a leaky feeder-based communication system in its Malanjkhand underground mine.

There were some big changes in the last year. The Malanjkhand underground project produced 27.252 lakh tonnes of ore, which is a 7% increase. Another important event was the reopening of the Surda mine in October 2024. The corporation is actually looking for experts outside of its own country. For example, in April 2025, it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CODELCO, the state-owned copper mining company in Chile. The goal of this agreement is to make it easier to share technical knowledge. Also, an MoU was inked with the government of Madhya Pradesh to look into important minerals. HCL's strategic efforts show that it is not just interested in increasing capacity, but also in adopting new technology and forming strategic partnerships to ensure its future. By this point, the company's growth story seems to be a mix of making the most of its core assets and getting ready for the future of the global copper business.
