Shares of Hindustan Copper have gained 48.27% over the past 7 trading sessions, driven by record-breaking international copper prices and amplified supply constraints in key producing regions. The stock hit a new high of ₹545.95 on December 29, 2025.
On December 29, 2025, Hindustan Copper stock rose by 15% to reach a record high of ₹545.95 on the National Stock Exchange. Over the last 7 sessions, the share price advanced 48.27%, supported by firm global and domestic copper prices. At 9:55 am, the shares were trading 8% higher at ₹512.70, ahead of the 1.55% gain in the NIFTY Metal index.
The surge in share price follows strong momentum in copper prices. On the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), copper futures for December 31 delivery touched an all-time high of ₹1,372.60 per kilogram, marking a 9% rise. Globally, copper futures on the London Metal Exchange increased nearly 7% to hit a high of $12,960 per tonne.
The global copper rally is being fuelled by tight supply conditions. A fatal mudslide at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia disrupted output by triggering a force majeure in September, affecting around 70% of the mine’s projected production. This part of the mine will likely remain closed until Q2 of 2026.
In Chile, the Quebrada Blanca copper mine revised its output estimates due to operational issues, adding to the global supply crunch. These developments have significantly tightened global copper availability, raising prices and impacting downstream sectors.

Adding to the supply-side tension, there has been a rise in demand from sectors linked to technological advancements and energy transitions. While the US has pre-stocked copper reserves, domestic pricing still remains at a premium to LME amid potential tariff considerations. China's continued buying interest further alters the supply-demand dynamics, unlike previous cycles.
In Q2 of FY26, Hindustan Copper posted a consolidated net profit of ₹183.79 crore, up 81% from ₹101.67 crore in Q2 FY25. Revenue from operations rose 38.6% to ₹718.04 crore compared to ₹518.19 crore in the same period last year. This financial performance coincides with rising copper prices and growing investor sentiment.
As of December 29, 2025, at 11:42 AM, Hindustan Copper share price on NSE was trading at ₹524.80 up by 10.34% from the previous closing price.
Hindustan Copper shares have recorded a substantial price increase over the past 7 sessions, aligning with rising copper prices and constrained global supply. Strong financials and buoyant commodity markets have supported the stock’s upward movement.
