Construction has begun and is expected to be completed in October 2028, but Kiri expects partial revenue to start accruing from FY27. It expects about ₹12,000 crore of revenue in the first year on about 25% capacity utilisation. By FY30, the facility is projected to generate more than ₹40,000 crore of revenue, assuming current copper prices. India is a net importer of refined copper, which means Kiri production will substitute imports.
