About the Scrap Market in Lumding

Lumding, a major railway junction in Assam's Hojai district, derives its economic significance almost entirely from Indian Railways operations. The locomotive maintenance depot, wagon repair workshop, and extensive rail yard infrastructure make this town one of northeast India's most concentrated sources of railway-grade scrap metal.

Rail scrap—including fish plates, worn rail sections, and bogie components—constitutes the highest-value ferrous category, with manganese steel rails trading at ₹28–34 per kg. Copper signal cables and brass fittings from railway installations fetch ₹490–570 per kg and ₹340–400 per kg respectively, while general mild steel from station infrastructure maintenance sells at ₹24–28 per kg.

Private sellers should be cautious about the source documentation of railway-related scrap, as Indian Railways conducts authorized auctions for disposed materials and unauthorized possession can attract legal complications. For household and commercial scrap, the market near Lumding Junction offers convenient access to dealers who aggregate material for transport to recyclers in Guwahati.
