State-owned Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) is embarking on a significant investment plan, with a commitment to infuse approximately ₹2,000 crore over the next 5-6 years. The aim is to substantially enhance its mining capacity from the existing four million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 12.20 MTPA by the fiscal year 2031.
As part of its strategic expansion strategy, HCL is actively seeking to acquire promising copper reserves both within the country and overseas by participating in upcoming mineral auctions. This move underscores the company’s forward-looking approach towards securing sustainable growth and meeting the increasing demand for copper.
In a bid to further strengthen its capabilities, Hindustan Copper has entered into a collaboration agreement with CODELCO, a renowned copper producer based in Chile. This partnership is geared towards facilitating knowledge exchange and enhancing mining proficiency, beneficiation processes, and exploration techniques, thereby fostering mutual growth and advancement in the copper industry.
During the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2025, Hindustan Copper reported a notable 53.2% year-on-year increase in net profit, reaching ₹1.9 crore compared to ₹1.2 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The company’s revenue from operations also witnessed a substantial uptick, climbing by 29% to ₹7.3 crore from ₹5.6 crore in the prior year’s fourth quarter.
Moreover, the EBITDA for the same period registered a 19% year-on-year surge, amounting to ₹266.7 crore as opposed to ₹224 crore in the previous year. Despite this growth, the EBITDA margin experienced a slight contraction, declining by approximately 300 basis points to 36.5% from 39.6% in the year-ago quarter.
Reflecting its strong quarterly performance, Hindustan Copper’s annual net profit for the fiscal year 2025 soared by 58% to ₹4.6 crore, a significant increase from ₹2.9 crore in the previous fiscal year. These positive financial indicators underscore the company’s operational efficiency and strategic positioning in the copper market.
Hindustan Copper operates as a vertically integrated copper producer, with mining and concentrator facilities located in key regions such as the Malanjkhand Copper Project in Madhya Pradesh, the Khetri Copper Complex in Rajasthan, and the Indian Copper Complex in Ghatsila, Jharkhand. This diversified operational footprint enables the company to leverage its resources efficiently and cater to diverse market demands.
On the stock market front, shares of Hindustan Copper Ltd concluded at ₹259.60, marking a decrease of ₹4.25 or 1.61% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company’s stock performance reflects the evolving dynamics of the copper industry and investor sentiment towards the strategic initiatives undertaken by Hindustan Copper.
