c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> in General Engineering has been taken as 7% <strong>of</strong> the total all India<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> copper.<br />

F. Others Industries Including Process Industries<br />

Others industries including process industries c<strong>on</strong>sumes about 16% <strong>of</strong><br />

the total copper c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> in the country. The process industry uses copper<br />

in making different types <strong>of</strong> chemicals, alloys, compounds etc. and the<br />

making decorative and utility items.<br />

i) Cooking Gas : Due to discoveries <strong>of</strong> large Natural Gas deposits within<br />

the country, the Government is pursuing a policy <strong>of</strong> substituti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Liquified<br />

Petroleum Gas which is imported. With this, the method <strong>of</strong> delivery would<br />

change from Cylinders to Piping, giving opportunities for <strong>Copper</strong> tubes in the<br />

last mile.<br />

In additi<strong>on</strong> to this, copper and its alloys having anti microbial properties.<br />

This should be exploited fully and completely and now emerging applicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

<strong>of</strong> copper may further be explored.<br />

On the basis <strong>of</strong> above discussi<strong>on</strong>, the projecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> demand have been<br />

attempted by assuming the growth in sectors namely Electrical and<br />

Telecommunicati<strong>on</strong>s as 9% followed by General Engineering (8%), Transport(<br />

8%), C<strong>on</strong>sumer Durables (7%), Building and C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>s (7%) and Other<br />

Industries including Processing Industries as (7%). The growth has been<br />

calculated c<strong>on</strong>sidering an apparent c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> in 2008-09 at 496 thousand<br />

t<strong>on</strong>nes as base year. The same is given in Table 6.4.<br />
