About the Scrap Market in Karur
Karur, a textile and transport hub in central Tamil Nadu, has a growing scrap market fueled by its bus body-building and textile industries. The city is famous for home textile exports (bed linens, towels) and has a significant bus and lorry body-building cluster. The SIPCOT area and numerous small engineering workshops add to the industrial scrap supply.
Steel from bus and lorry body-building is Karur's primary scrap commodity, with old vehicle bodies and fabrication off-cuts in steady supply. Copper from textile machinery motors, aluminum from transport body panels, and textile waste from the home textile industry are also traded. Karur's ferrous scrap prices are competitive with Trichy and Erode, reflecting strong local demand from the body-building industry.
Key scrap markets include the bus body-building cluster on Dindigul Road, Jawahar Bazar, and dealers near the Karur SIPCOT. For vehicle body-grade steel, approach dealers directly at the body-building cluster for the best rates. Most dealers pick up from 15 kg. Cash is standard. Karur's transport industry creates a natural market for old vehicle bodies and chassis — sellers with complete old vehicle bodies can get 15-20% premiums over cut scrap rates.
