Prices of select copper, zinc and lead firmed up at the non-ferrous metals market here on stockists' buying amid sustained demand from industrial users.

While, tin prices eased further owing to sluggish offtake from alloy industries.

Copper cable scrap, copper scrap heavy, copper billets and zinc rose by Rs 2 per kg each to Rs 452, Rs 447, Rs 480 and Rs 211 from Monday's closing level of Rs 450, Rs 445, Rs 478 and Rs 209, respectively.

Copper sheet cuttings and lead inched up by a rupee per kg each to Rs 440 and Rs 161, respectively.
