Hindustan Copper, a company that mines copper, announced great financial news.
In the last three months, their profits nearly doubled compared to last year, and they earned more money from selling copper.

They are working with other big companies in India and even looking for these minerals in other countries to help India get the materials it needs for future technology.

Revenue for the second quarter grew by 38.57% year-on-year to ₹718.04 crore, driven by higher volumes and metal prices.
For the first half of the financial year, net profit rose by 48.93% and revenue by 22% year-on-year.
