Taloja Copper project (TCP) at Taloja, Maharashtra
Origin
The Taloja Copper Project was set up in December 1989, based on technology sourced from Southwire, USA.
Existing Production Capacity
The plant produces Continuous Cast Copper Rods (CCR) and has a capacity of producing 60,000 TPA. The inputs, i.e. cathodes are sourced from the Company’s own unit at Jhagaria and Ghatsila (i.e. GCP and ICC) as well as through direct purchase of cathodes. The unit also undertakes tolling of cathodes.
The Project has an installed capacity to produce 60,000 MT per year of Continuous Cast Copper Wire Rods of 8mm, 11mm, 12.5mm, 16mm and 19.6mm diameters. The product is offered for sale in the form of coils, each coil weighing 3.0 MT, 2.650 MT and 1.00 MT.
Technology Involved
The technology used is the SCR 2000 system of the world-renowned Southwire Co., USA. The Southwire Continuous Rod System (SCR) is accepted as the world’s leading technology for producing premium quality continuous cast rods. Rods produced by this technology conform to standard CC ASTM B 49/2017 &/or IS 12444/2020.
