Secondary-copper anode plant in development  ·  Kutch, Gujarat

Refinery-grade copper anodes, independent of concentrate.

A greenfield plant under development in Kutch, engineered to convert copper scrap into ~99.3% Cu anodes for India's electrorefining industry — ~87 km from Mundra Port.

Why Astenzo

A bankable, concentrate-independent anode source.

01
Concentrate-independent

Feed is copper scrap only — no concentrate. By design it sits outside the concentrate market, where the 2026 TC/RC benchmark settled at $0/tonne, the lowest on record.

02
Refinery-grade quality

Designed to fire-refine and pole to ~99.3% Cu, then cast to a ≤±3 kg tolerance at a ≥98% qualification target — anodes built to drop straight into the tankhouse.

Port-connected logistics

An ~18-acre site at Village Rapar, Taluka Anjar, Kutch — ~87 km from Mundra Port and near Kandla — short, reliable lanes for inbound scrap and outbound anode despatch.

About the site
