About the Scrap Market in Yanam

Yanam, a diminutive enclave of the Union Territory of Puducherry located within Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district, has an economy shaped by fishing, small-scale trading, and the Union Territory's favourable excise policies. While industrial scrap generation is limited, construction activity and the fishing fleet provide modest but steady recyclable material volumes.

Fishing vessel steel plates, copper tubing from ice plant compressors, and aluminium from small-scale food processing units make up the bulk of available scrap. Iron and steel trade at ₹22–27 per kg, while copper from ice plant repairs can command ₹440–510 per kg in this micro-market.

Due to Yanam's tiny geographic area and limited dealer presence, sellers almost always benefit from crossing into Kakinada—just 5 km away—where a competitive dealer ecosystem ensures fairer pricing. For marine scrap specifically, cleaning salt residue off metal surfaces before sale is a simple step that can improve the offered rate by 10–15%.
