Copper, an essential and strategic raw material, is core to India’s economic development. As the major consumer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), India’s production and consumption of refined copper needs collective measures to address the emerging demand of the consumer.

The demand for refined copper products was 7 lakh tonnes in 2019. Given the growth prospects for India, it is likely to increase to almost 15 lakh tonnes a year. India imports most of its copper concentrates. The domestic demand for copper is met through domestic production, imports, and the recycling of scrap. Thus, organizations working in copper recycling and revamping plays a vital role in setting standards and putting collective efforts towards ensuring that such market expansion is supplemented with sustainable strategies in the midstream and downstream sectors.

B. R. STEELS, a leading manufacturer and trader of scrap materials located in Ludhiana, Punjab, India, is a firm that engaged in recycling copper and copper alloys since 1975. This Udhyam Registered firm is continuously improving its recycling methods to meet industry-wide quality standards and achieve customer satisfaction. With the support of a highly skilled team, B R Steels has carved a niche for itself and is regarded as one of the most reliable companies in the metal recycling sector.

One of the challenges faced by the non-ferrous metal sector is the dependence on imported metal scrap. The recent Indian Government Programmes like Made in India, Housing for All, Smart Cities and National Highway Development, and the accelerated growth of the electric vehicles sector will further increase the demand for copper. A substantial percentage of this demand will be met through copper recycling. Needless to say, companies like BR Steel will play a vital role in the Nation’s development.
