About the Scrap Market in Shimoga

Shimoga (Shivamogga), a city in Karnataka's Malnad region, has a scrap market influenced by its areca nut processing, rice milling, and small-scale manufacturing sectors. The KIADB industrial area houses engineering units, and the surrounding Malnad region's plantation economy generates agricultural and processing equipment scrap. Shimoga is also a gateway to the Western Ghats region.

Iron and steel from rice mills and areca nut processing machinery are the primary materials. Copper from electrical equipment, aluminum from processing units, and agricultural implement scrap are traded in moderate volumes. Shimoga's prices sit 8-10% below Bangalore, reflecting the smaller market size, though rates are competitive within the Malnad region.

Scrap trading centers around JC Road, Sagar Road area, and dealers near the KIADB zone. Most dealers pick up from 10 kg. Cash is standard. Shimoga's market is small but serves the broader Malnad region — sellers with larger quantities can negotiate better rates by aggregating material before calling dealers.
