There is a demand and supply gap for the base metal copper after the economies' are coming back on track. Spot prices of base metals like copper have gone higher than the future prices.

"Expectations of a historic deficit of raw material amid rising demand, signal of tightness on London Metal Exchange (LME), hopes of the US and Europe stimulus, revival of global inflation, and clean-energy transition have changed sentiment over the past one and a half month," says N S Ramaswamy, head of commodities at Ventura Securities.

Also, the factors pushing up the demand for copper and hence the scrip of Hindustan Copper

1. Demand from the power sector owing to govt's focus on renewable energy.
