• Production targets: Hindustan Copper is targeting around 32,000 tonnes of metal in concentrate (MIC) this year, up from 27,000 tonnes last year, while maintaining an annual ore production target of roughly 4.7 million tonnes.
• Mine head grades: Current head ore grades stand at approximately 0.81% for KCC, 0.85% for Malanjkhand, and 0.65% for Ghatshila, with favorable LME prices allowing the company to lower cutoff grades and extract more ore.
• Margin outlook: Management expects to sustain EBITDA margins in the 54% to 55% range, indicating that the cost of production remains around 45% of total operating revenue.
• Capacity expansion roadmap: To achieve a long-term target of 12.2 million metric tonnes, the company is intensifying vendor-level monitoring and accelerating sub-project timelines, including advancing the Malanjkhand substation completion by 15 days.
