About the Scrap Market in Palitana

Palitana in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district is world-famous for its Jain temples on Shatrunjaya Hill, drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims annually. The temple town's economy—encompassing hospitality, construction for pilgrim facilities, and support services—generates scrap primarily from renovation projects, kitchen equipment turnover, and vehicle maintenance.

Standard iron and steel scrap is priced at ₹24–₹29 per kg in Palitana, while brass and copper from temple renovation fixtures can command ₹370–₹440 and ₹600–₹680 per kg respectively. Stainless steel from the town's many large-scale community kitchens and dharamshalas enters the scrap market periodically at ₹80–₹110 per kg.

Temple trusts and dharamshala managers undertaking renovations in Palitana should obtain competitive bids from multiple scrap dealers before disposing of metal fixtures, as religious institution scrap often includes high-value brass and copper items. The nearest large scrap market in Bhavnagar, about 50 km away, provides an alternative for higher-value lots.
