About the Scrap Market in Kochi
Kochi, Kerala's commercial capital and a major port city, has the state's most active scrap market driven by port operations, shipbuilding, and the petrochemical industry. The Cochin Shipyard, Cochin Refinery (BPCL), and the FACT fertilizer complex create a concentrated industrial scrap ecosystem. InfoPark's IT corridor adds growing e-waste volumes. The Kochi Metro project has recently boosted construction scrap generation.
Ship repair and marine-grade steel from Cochin Shipyard, refinery-grade metals from BPCL, and fertilizer plant equipment scrap are Kochi's premium categories. Copper from port and refinery electrical systems, stainless steel from chemical processing, and e-waste from the IT sector are also traded. Kochi's industrial-grade prices lead the Kerala market and are competitive with Chennai for marine and refinery scrap.
Key scrap markets include Mattancherry, Edappally, and dealers near the Shipyard and Ambalamugal refinery corridor. Most dealers pick up from 15 kg. Cash and UPI are both common. For marine and refinery-grade scrap, approach specialized industrial dealers rather than general kabadiwala.
