According to data released by the International Copper Association India (ICA India) on Thursday, India's copper demand reached 2,100 kilotonnes (KT) in FY'26, marking a 12% increase from 1,878 KT in FY25. This surge was primarily propelled by robust activity across the infrastructure, automotive, and building and construction sectors.
"India's copper demand grew 12 per cent year-on-year in FY2026 to 2,100 kilotonnes, significantly outpacing the country's 7.7 per cent GDP growth during the period. The increase marks an acceleration from the 9.3 per cent growth recorded in FY2025," according to the data released by the International Copper Association India (ICA India).
