Chhattisgarh Ships India’s Largest Copper Consignment to China

Chhattisgarh has exported 12,000 metric tonnes (MT) of copper concentrate to China, the largest consignment of its kind from India. The first rake of 2,200 MT was sent on November 11, 2025, from the Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) in Nava Raipur to Visakhapatnam Port. 

From there, the material will be shipped to China. The remaining consignments are being transported in phases.

Logistics Route and Handling

The export is being managed through the MMLP in Nava Raipur, which has been developed by the Chhattisgarh Department of Industries. The park is equipped for bulk cargo handling and has direct rail connectivity to ports. It serves as a transport link for industries in central India to move goods to both domestic and international destinations.

Policy Framework

To improve trade and logistics efficiency, the state government introduced the Chhattisgarh State Logistics Policy 2025. The policy is to expand multimodal transport systems, encourage private participation in logistics parks, and promote warehousing and cold storage facilities. It is intended to reduce transport costs and support export growth in the state.

Mineral Production

Chhattisgarh holds a strong position in mineral production within India. It is the country’s only producer of tin, accounting for 100% of national output. The state has about 36% of India’s tin ore reserves, estimated at 30 million tonnes, largely found in Dantewada and Sukma districts. Apart from tin and copper, the state is also a key producer of coal, iron ore, and bauxite.

Economic Contribution

Since its formation in 2000, Chhattisgarh’s mineral revenue has grown from ₹429 crore to ₹14,592 crore. The mining sector contributes around 10% to the state’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). The rise reflects increased mineral extraction and exports over the years.
