India exported a mere 127.89 thousand metric tons of refined copper in 2021 as against 394 thousand metric tons in 2017. The reason associated with this was the shut down of the Tuticorin smelter and a further impact of coronavirus pandemic. A domino effect occurred, leading to an increase in imports. As a result, India turned a net importer of copper.
