Warrants for the brand can be issued from July 10, although the LME-registered warehouses holding Adani Copper metal must include the brand in their off-warrant stock reports with immediate effect, the LME added.
The brand is produced by Adani Enterprises-owned Kutch Copper, one of India’s largest copper smelters, with annual production capacity of 500,000 metric tons. The company applied for LME registration in August 2025.
According to Adani, this $1.2 billion Kutch Copper facility in the western state of Gujarat is the world’s biggest single-location plant of its type, expected to reduce India’s reliance on imported copper.
India imported 238,080 tons of refined copper in 2025, down 18% from a year earlier, according to Trade Data Monitor data, with Japan remaining the country’s largest supplier. (Reporting by Polina Devitt; Editing by Louise Heavens)
