Info

Zambia is a major country in the mine production of copper. The total capacity of ore mining in Zambia in 2007 was around 52.5 million tonnes of ore (the copper content in the ore are not available). The Lumwana mine (Malundwe Pit) being the largest mine with a capacity of 20 million tonnes of ore is operated by Lumwana Mining Co. Ltd. The Kansanshi operated by Kansanshi Mining plc. (12 million tonnes) Vedanta Resources plc. with 51% stake alongwith Zambia Copper Investments Ltd. and Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Investments Holding plc. formed a joint venture company named as Konkola Copper Mines Ltd. and is operating three mines namely Nchanga (open Pit and Underground), Konkola Underground and Fitwaola open pit with a total capacity of about 10 million tonnes of copper ore. The smelter and refinery capacity of the country is around 1.14 million tonnes. The major producer Konkola copper mines plc. has a total capacity of 500 thousand tonnes of blister, anode and cathode copper operating plants at Nchanga and Chingola. The other players are Mopani Copper Mines plc., Chambishi Metals plc. etc. The mine production of copper recorded an increasing trend. The production which was from 347 thousand tonnes in 2003 increased gradually to 601 thousand tonnes in 2009. The production of Copper ores and concentrates in terms of Copper content was increasing since last three years. It was 441 thousand tonnes in 2005 and increased by 36% to 601 thousand tonnes in 2009. The exports of copper ore and concentrates (in terms of Cu contents) from Zambia is recorded an increasing trend since last 3 years and reached to 402 thousand tonnes in 2009. The exports of refined copper from Zambia are also increasing since last 5 years. The exports of refined copper which were 363 thousand tonnes in 2003 increased by 86% to 675 thousand tonnes in 2009. There were no imports of copper ores & concentrates and refined copper during the last few years. 4.5 INDIA’S TRADE The past few years saw the Indian copper industry taking remarkable strides towards the goal of self sufficiency. The HCL was able to meet the 25 to 30% of the country’s demand before economic liberalization. After 1992 the private domestic producers boosted the production of copper metal based on imported ores and concentrates and now India exports copper to various countries. The details of exports of copper and other related items are given in Annexures: 4 -VII to 4 - X. India also imports sizable quantities of copper ores and concentrates to feed the smelters as well as copper metal is also imported in the form of copper and alloys, copper scrap and cement copper (precipitated). The details of imports of copper as above are given in Annexures: 4 - XI to 4 - XIV. However, for the sake of analysis in this <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Survey</strong> the data on exports of refined copper has been taken from World Metal Statistics (BGS). 4.5.1 Exports India plays an important role in the world export market. India stands 11 th in the tally of refined copper exporting countries. India’s export of refined copper shows an increasing trend since last few years. The exports of refined 80
copper which was only 105 thousand tonnes in 2003 increased to 236 thousand tonnes in 2006 and came down to 185 thousand tonnes in 2009. The main destinations of Indian copper alloys were mainly to China (36%) was followed by Saudi Arabia 17%. Besides, 27 thousand tonnes of copper ores & concentrates was also exported mainly to Germany, and China. A small quantity of cement copper (precipitated) was also exported. India also exports copper scrap and scrap of brass and bronze. 4.5.2 Imports India is one of the major importers of copper ores & concentrates. India imported 1.91 million tonnes of copper ores & concentrates in 2007-08 but in the year 2008-09 the imports were increased to 2.26 million tonnes. The major countries from which India imports copper ores and concentrates are Chile, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, Iran etc. India imported 633 thousand tonnes of copper ores & concentrates from Chile, contributing 28% to the total Indian imports followed by Australia (22%) and Indonesia (8%). The India’s imports of refined copper stood at 15,496 tonnes in 2009 which decreased from 15,744 tonnes in 2008. In the 2008-09, India also imported 23,245 tonnes of copper scrap, 321 tonnes of cement copper precipitated. 4.6 EXPORT- IMPORT POLICY: The export import (Exim) policy of copper metal is decided by the Ministry of commerce, Government of India. The gist of the policy is given below. 4.6.1 Export Policy As per the export policy 2009-14 Copper/lead/zinc metal and their alloys are freely exportable without conditions. 4.4.2 Import policy: The import policy for years 2009-14 is given in Table: 4.4.
