About the Scrap Market in Lonar
Lonar in Maharashtra's Buldhana district is globally renowned for its meteor crater lake, but the local economy depends on cotton farming and oilseed processing. Scrap generation in this small town comes primarily from ginning mill maintenance, vehicle workshops, and the slow but steady pace of residential construction.
Iron scrap from ginning machinery and construction remnants trades at INR 23–27 per kg, while copper from motor rewinding — a common service in agricultural towns — commands INR 530–650 per kg. Aluminium from old cooking vessels and window frames sells at INR 90–120 per kg.
Cotton ginning operators should schedule scrap disposal during the off-season months of June through September, when dealer attention is less divided and negotiation leverage improves. Household sellers accumulating small quantities are best served by the periodic kabadiwala rounds that traverse Lonar's residential lanes every one to two weeks.
