About the Scrap Market in Pavagada
Pavagada, a taluk headquarters in Tumkur district of Karnataka, has gained national prominence due to one of India's largest solar energy parks located nearby. The solar installation and maintenance activities generate scrap in the form of damaged aluminium mounting structures, copper cabling, and replaced inverter components. Traditional scrap from agriculture and small workshops complements this renewable-energy-driven supply.
Aluminium channel frames from solar panels and copper DC cable scrap are distinctive to Pavagada's market, trading at INR 105–135 per kg and INR 450–540 per kg respectively. Conventional iron scrap from farming equipment and building demolition moves at INR 21–26 per kg. The solar park's scale means that periodic maintenance cycles can release bulk quantities of specific scrap types into the local market.
Solar park contractors should establish dedicated scrap yards within their facilities and engage bulk industrial recyclers rather than local kabadiwallas for large-volume disposals. For household sellers, the increased dealer activity attracted by the solar park's presence means better price competition than in similarly sized towns. Verifying that aluminium scrap is free of glass fragments from broken solar panels ensures it receives the standard aluminium rate without deductions.
