Hindustan Copper Shares Soar as Market Cap Crosses ₹50,000 Crore
Hindustan Copper Limited has reached a historic milestone, with its market capitalization crossing ₹50,000 crore for the first time. The surge comes amid a strong rally in copper prices, positioning the state-owned company at a 52-week high.
On Monday, Hindustan Copper shares saw a sharp 11% increase, continuing a seven-session rally that has lifted the stock by nearly 50% in recent weeks. The sharp rise highlights growing investor confidence in the company.
Copper Prices Fuel the Rally
The primary driver behind the stock’s meteoric rise is the spike in copper prices in both domestic and international markets. On the MCX, copper strengthened, while global prices approached multi-year highs. Analysts attribute the surge to potential US import duties on copper and supply disruptions in key mines. Higher copper prices directly boost revenues and profit margins for producers like Hindustan Copper.
EV and Electrification Drive Long-Term Demand
The rapid global shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy, power grids, and charging infrastructure is increasing copper demand. Investors are showing growing interest in copper-related companies, benefiting Hindustan Copper significantly.
Stock Performance and Investor Guidance
Hindustan Copper stock has delivered more than 40% returns over the past month and nearly doubled since the start of 2025. Over five years, long-term investors have seen multi-fold returns. Market experts advise short-term traders to consider profit booking due to rapid gains, while long-term investors should remain patient and buy on potential dips, given the strong underlying copper demand story.
