About the Scrap Market in Kohima
Kohima, Nagaland's capital, has a very small scrap market in one of India's most remote state capitals. The city's scrap is primarily generated from government construction and institutional maintenance. Limited road connectivity and a small population constrain market development.
Iron and steel from construction are the primary materials. Copper and aluminum from household goods are traded in small quantities. Kohima's prices are among the lowest nationally — 25-30% below Guwahati.
Scrap trading is very limited, concentrated around the main commercial area. Cash is standard. For any meaningful quantity, coordinating with Dimapur (75 km, the commercial hub) or Guwahati dealers provides significantly better pricing.
