About the Scrap Market in Kolkata
Kolkata, the commercial capital of Eastern India, has a deeply rooted scrap trading tradition. The city's extensive railway infrastructure, jute mills, and engineering works in Howrah and Liluah generate substantial metal scrap. Kolkata Port, one of India's oldest, handles scrap metal imports that feed local foundries and re-rolling mills across Bengal and Bihar.
Iron and steel scrap dominate Kolkata's market, sourced from old railway wagons, dismantled industrial machinery, and ship repair yards. Brass and copper scrap from the traditional metalworking clusters in Howrah are local specialties. Paper and cardboard recycling is also a major segment, driven by the city's printing and publishing industry. Kolkata's prices tend to be 5-8% below Mumbai but competitive within the eastern region.
The primary scrap markets in Kolkata are in Tangra (metal scrap), Topsia, and the Howrah-Liluah belt for industrial scrap. Most kabadiwala offer pickup from 10 kg onwards, making it accessible for household sellers. Bargaining is standard practice — start negotiations at 15-20% above the dealer's first offer. For large quantities, contact dealers in Howrah directly for the best industrial rates.
