‘Expansion of assets like Hindustan Copper’: Anil Agarwal calls for boost in domestic mineral production

Anil Agarwal, the chairman of Vedanta Resources, has emphasized the need for India to boost domestic mineral production to reduce dependence on imports and enhance self-sufficiency. He particularly highlights assets like Hindustan Copper and their potential for expansion. Agarwal calls for policy reforms that would streamline the mining sector, making it more attractive for investors and ensuring sustainable resource management. Increasing domestic production is also seen as crucial for supporting India’s ambitious infrastructure projects and its transition to a manufacturing-led economy. This call to action aligns with the government's vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat,’ or self-reliant India.
