Though the utilities mentioned are high, but there are a few points to be looked into. For e.g.India imports major requirements of Copper as its natural resources are highly inadequate to meet its demands. Most of the imports are from African countries & its entry point in India is through JNPT & the Logistics corridor development is still in its infancy in India. Being imported in Trapezoid bars form, turning it into various end products involves high use of energy & except a very few states, most of them are deficient in this sector.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has affinity towards Copper, giving it a green covering of Copper carbonate on its storing. Hence the turn over of finished goods has got to be substantial, unless protective covering is given.
