In short

What the reporting says
Hindustan Copper’s CMD said copper prices could stay above $14,000 per tonne, citing a gap between global demand and supply. The remark was reported in a publisher summary about the company and its expansion plans. The report does not say when the comment was made, how long prices may stay elevated, or what specific expansion steps Hindustan Copper will take next.
Why it matters
Hindustan Copper’s CMD said global demand is exceeding supply enough to keep copper above $14,000 per tonne, according to the published summary. That matters for Hindustan Copper’s cost discipline and expansion outlook, since higher copper prices can affect project economics and operating plans.
