The non-ferrous metals market in India is valued at over Rs 2 lakh crore, encompassing aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, tin, and precious metals. Prices are closely linked to London Metal Exchange (LME) rates and USD/INR exchange rates.
Major domestic producers include Hindalco (aluminium), Hindustan Copper, Hindustan Zinc, and Vedanta. India has significant import dependence for copper and aluminium scrap, while being self-sufficient in primary zinc production.
