Import volume of copper waste and scrap into India FY 2017-2019
The import volume of copper waste and scrap into India was over 210 thousand metric tons in financial year 2019. The import volume into the country had increased due to the shutdown of the Tuticorin smelter in Tamil Nadu which reduced production. In addition, the trade volumes were also affected due to the increased use of copper scrap in the electronics and consumer durables industry.
