About the Scrap Market in Vellore
Vellore, a historically significant city in northern Tamil Nadu, has a scrap market driven by its leather industry, engineering colleges, and proximity to Chennai's automotive corridor. The Ranipet-Ambur leather belt (one of Asia's largest) and the city's automotive component manufacturers in the SIPCOT area generate steady industrial scrap. Vellore also serves as a collection hub for districts like Tiruvannamalai and Krishnagiri.
Leather processing waste and chemicals containers from the tannery cluster are Vellore's distinctive scrap categories. Iron and steel from construction and auto components, copper from electrical infrastructure, and chrome-containing waste from leather processing are traded. Vellore's scrap prices sit 5-8% below Chennai but are the benchmark for northern Tamil Nadu, with leather waste having specialized pricing channels separate from metal scrap.
Major scrap markets include Saidapet area, Officers Line, and dealers near the Vellore SIPCOT. For leather industry waste, specialized recyclers near Ranipet offer regulated disposal and competitive rates. Most dealers pick up from 10 kg. Cash is standard. Sellers should note that leather processing waste requires authorized recyclers — general scrap dealers don't handle chrome waste, so separate your metal scrap from leather industry byproducts.
