About the Scrap Market in Kathua

Kathua, the southernmost district of Jammu and Kashmir, borders Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, making it a strategic entry point to the Kashmir Valley. Industrial estates housing electronics assembly, pharmaceutical, and food processing units generate a diversified scrap profile uncommon for a town of its size in the UT.

Ferrous scrap in Kathua fetches ₹24–₹30 per kg, supported by demand from steel re-rolling mills in neighbouring Punjab. Electronic waste from the Kathua industrial estate's assembly units represents a growing and valuable scrap category, and copper wire scrap from infrastructure projects along the NH-44 corridor trades at ₹600–₹680 per kg.

Winter months bring logistical challenges to scrap trade in Kathua, with cold weather slowing construction and reducing demand. Sellers should plan major transactions for the April-to-October window when both supply from construction sites and dealer purchasing activity are at their peak.
