About ScrapRates.in

Welcome to scraprates.in, India's premier digital directory for real-time scrap metal prices and verified dealer connections.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring transparency and efficiency to the India scrap and recycling market. We believe that by providing daily, accurate pricing data, we empower both individual sellers and industrial businesses to get the fair market value for their recyclable materials.

India's scrap and recycling industry has traditionally operated with minimal price transparency. A household seller had no easy way to know if the rate offered by their local kabadiwala was fair. A small business couldn't compare dealer quotes against actual market conditions. scraprates.in was built to solve exactly this problem — giving every seller access to the same market information that large traders and mills have always had.

What We Do

  • Daily Market Updates: We track and provide the latest scrap prices for Iron, Copper, Aluminum, Plastic, Newspaper, Cardboard, and more across India. Our rates are compiled from dealer surveys, commodity exchange data, and wholesale market transactions.
  • Verified Dealer Directory: We connect you with scrap dealers in your local area who have been through our verification process. Each listing includes the dealer's address, services, and contact details you can access directly on our platform.
  • Educational Content: Through our blog and FAQ section, we publish practical guides on selling scrap, understanding metal grades, navigating GST rules, and maximizing your scrap income. Our content is written for real sellers — from households to small businesses.
  • Environmental Impact: Every kilogram of metal recycled saves energy, reduces mining, and keeps waste out of landfills. Recycling aluminum saves 95% of the energy needed to produce it from ore. Recycling copper saves 85%. By making scrap selling easier and more transparent, we contribute to India's circular economy goals and help reduce environmental impact.

How Our Pricing Works

Scrap rates on scraprates.in are indicative market prices — they represent what sellers can reasonably expect in each city based on current market conditions. We update these daily using data from multiple sources:

  • Direct surveys of scrap dealers and aggregators in each city
  • Commodity exchange benchmarks from LME (London Metal Exchange) and domestic platforms like MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India)
  • Wholesale market transaction data from major trading hubs
  • Seasonal and regional adjustment factors based on local supply-demand conditions

Actual prices you receive may vary based on material quality, quantity, and individual dealer policies. We always recommend contacting multiple dealers and comparing quotes for the best outcome.
