Scrap Rates in Kerala
Today's average scrap rates and verified dealers across Kerala. See state-wide prices for iron, copper, brass, aluminum and more below — or pick your city for local rates.
Scrap trading across Kerala is driven by the region's food processing and rubber products industries. Hubs such as the Kochi industrial zone anchor the supply of industrial metal scrap, while towns and cities statewide feed in household and vehicle scrap through a dense network of local dealers.
The metals traded most in Kerala include marine vessel scrap and construction demolition metals, plus standard household scrap such as copper wiring, aluminium utensils and iron. Pricing in the state is slightly above the national average, driven by heavy construction activity and limited local supply; the averages above are refreshed daily against live market rates.
Because demand is uneven across Kerala, the best rate depends on your city. Use the city list below to find verified dealers near you and check live prices. Bulk quantities — generally 100 kg and above — attract noticeably better rates from most dealers.
