The HCL has plans to outsource the 25 milli<strong>on</strong> t<strong>on</strong>ne Banwas deposits in<br />
Rajasthan for ore extracti<strong>on</strong> to Byrnecut Mining <strong>of</strong> Australia <strong>on</strong> a risk-sharing<br />
model. HCL is opt for a joint venture to re-commissi<strong>on</strong> the Chapri Sideshwar<br />
mine in Jharkhand with 80 milli<strong>on</strong> t<strong>on</strong>ne resources.<br />
3. Producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Copper</strong> Cathodes<br />
As already menti<strong>on</strong>ed that there is <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e integrated producer <strong>of</strong><br />
copper cathodes in the country namely HCL. However, other producers<br />
namely, Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. and Hindalco Industries Ltd. produce<br />
copper cathodes from imported copper c<strong>on</strong>centrates. There is <strong>on</strong>e more<br />
producer <strong>of</strong> copper cathode namely Jhagadia copper which produces copper<br />
cathodes from Scrap and also uses about 15% <strong>of</strong> copper c<strong>on</strong>centrates. The<br />
share <strong>of</strong> HCL in total cathode producti<strong>on</strong> is very small at about 9% <strong>on</strong>ly. The<br />
major c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> comes from Hindalco Industries Ltd.’s Birla <strong>Copper</strong> at 64%<br />
and Sterlite Industries at 26%. Jaghadia’s c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> is <strong>on</strong>ly 1% in total<br />
cathode producti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
The producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> copper cathode in the country during 2000-01 was<br />
259 thousand t<strong>on</strong>nes <strong>on</strong>ly, however, with the ec<strong>on</strong>omic liberalizati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
emergence <strong>of</strong> private players there has been unprecedented increase in the<br />
producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> copper cathodes. The producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> copper cathode reached to<br />
2036 thousand t<strong>on</strong>nes in 2024-25. On the basis <strong>of</strong> yearly increase in the<br />
producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> cathodes from 2000-01 to 2009-10 an impressive CAGR <strong>of</strong><br />
9.35% has been calculated and the same has been utilized to forecast the<br />
producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> cathode till 2025, the same has been given in Table -6.6.<br />
