About the Scrap Market in Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh's port city, drives one of South India's most dynamic scrap markets. The Vizag Steel Plant (Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited), one of India's largest shore-based steel plants, anchors the local scrap ecosystem. The city's shipbuilding yards, naval dockyard, pharma clusters in the SEZ, and oil refinery at HPCL add diverse industrial scrap sources.
HMS (Heavy Melting Scrap) and structural steel dominate Vizag's market, directly feeding the Vizag Steel Plant and surrounding re-rolling mills. Ship repair scrap from the naval dockyard, copper from the refinery and pharma plants, and stainless steel from chemical processing units are local specialties. Vizag's ferrous scrap prices often lead the Andhra Pradesh market, running 3-5% above the state average due to direct mill consumption.
Key scrap trading areas in Vizag include Malkapuram, Old Gajuwaka, and Autonagar. For bulk ferrous scrap, dealers along the steel plant corridor offer the best mill-direct rates. The shipbuilding area near Gandhigram is the go-to for marine-grade and naval scrap. Most dealers pick up from 20 kg. Cash payment is the norm, though UPI is increasingly popular. Sellers should note that Vizag's rates respond faster to global steel price movements than inland cities.
