How to Sell Scrap in Ludhiana at the Best Price | KabadiKing Guide

Selling Scrap in Ludhiana: What You Need to Know Ludhiana is Punjab's industrial powerhouse — home to thousands of cycle parts factories, textile mills, hosiery units, and auto component workshops. All that manufacturing activity generates enormous quantities of scrap every single day: iron rods, copper wire, aluminum offcuts, cardboard bales, plastic drums, and old machinery. But households too — from Model Town to Sarabha Nagar to Dugri — accumulate a quiet mountain of scrap: old newspapers, broken appliances, worn-out furniture, and discarded electronics. For decades, the only option was to wait for the kabadiwaala to push his cart down your street and accept whatever price he quoted. Most people had no way of knowing the actual market rate — and more often than not, they sold for far less than their scrap was worth. How the Scrap Market Works in Ludhiana Ludhiana has one of the most active scrap ecosystems in North India. The city's industrial belt — particularly around Focal Point, Sherpur Kalan, and the GT Road corridor — hosts hundreds of scrap dealers and recycling units. The local rates for key materials as of 2025 are approximately: MaterialApproximate Rate (₹/kg)Iron / Steel₹28 – ₹34Copper Wire₹480 – ₹530Aluminium₹95 – ₹115Brass₹270 – ₹310Mixed Plastic₹8 – ₹18Newspapers / Paper₹10 – ₹14Cardboard₹7 – ₹10E-Waste (per item)₹50 – ₹500+ Rates fluctuate with commodity markets, so getting a real-time quote before selling is critical to avoid being underpaid.
