About the Scrap Market in Thoubal

Thoubal, a district headquarters in Manipur's Imphal valley, represents a frontier scrap market where limited industrial development is offset by military infrastructure maintenance and cross-border trade dynamics with Myanmar. The concentration of military establishments in Manipur generates institutional scrap that periodically enters the civilian market through auction.

Military surplus steel—from vehicle bodies to structural components—sells at ₹22–₹28/kg when released through authorised channels. Aluminium from decommissioned communication equipment trades at ₹90–₹115/kg, and copper wiring from government building renovations fetches ₹400–₹450/kg.

Scrap trading in Thoubal faces logistical challenges due to Manipur's hilly terrain and periodic highway blockades, making stockpiling during stable periods a prudent strategy. Government e-auctions through the DGS&D platform are the most transparent source of institutional scrap. The limited number of local dealers means that Imphal-based recyclers, just 25 km away, should always be included in price comparisons.
