The scrap market in Mumbai
Mumbai has traded metal off its docks for two centuries, and the geography still shows: Darukhana's dismantling and scrap lanes sit on the eastern waterfront, collection dealers work every suburb, and the wholesale weight moves through Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai, the steel market that prices ferrous for the whole region.
Redevelopment is the supply story: tower after tower comes down across the city, feeding structural steel, rebar, copper and brass into the chain. Port access keeps import and export flows in the background, and the rupee moves daily rates the same way it does everywhere in India.

Selling scrap metal in Mumbai: rules, ID and payment
GST invoices and e-way bills move commercial lots, household sales stay informal, and demolition contracts trade through brokers at Kalamboli. Cable and infrastructure metal gets provenance questions; vehicle scrapping runs through registered facilities that issue the certificate you need for deregistration.
Before any sale, check the live board above, sort by grade and get quotes from two or three buyers; the best scrap price guide covers the routine and the calculator turns a weight into a figure at today's price. To judge whether a local quote is competitive, our note on telling a well-paying yard from a headline rate sets out the benchmark test.
Mumbai scrap price FAQ
What is the scrap copper price in Mumbai today?
As of the latest update, the indicative price for clean number 1 copper is about ₹1,114 per kg in INR. Mumbai yards typically quote within a few percent of that figure either side, depending on grade, volume and the buyer; the live board above shows all fifteen grades.
Where can I sell scrap metal in Mumbai?
Local dealers and the kabadi network for household lots, Darukhana for mixed and machinery metal, and Kalamboli for wholesale ferrous weight. Redevelopment contractors sell through brokers; everyone else does best collecting two quotes across the harbour.
What is Darukhana known for?
It is Mumbai's historic dockside dismantling and scrap quarter, where ships, machinery and mixed metal have been broken and traded for generations. For odd grades, motors and marine scrap, its dealers still price things the suburbs cannot.
Are Mumbai prices different from the national board?
The board on this page is the India indicative level, and Mumbai yards trade around it rather than exactly on it. Local competition, freight to the nearest consumer and the day's export demand set the spread, which is why two quotes in the same city can differ by several percent on the same morning.
Sources and methodology
The Mumbai board uses the India indicative prices: global exchange benchmarks (COMEX copper, CME aluminum and steel, NYMEX platinum and palladium, IMF monthly lead, zinc and nickel) multiplied by typical yard recovery shares, a local market factor of 0.92 and the day's exchange rate. The full method, the recovery shares and the correction policy are on our editorial policy page; local notes on this page are reviewed against published dealer information and reader corrections sent to info@scrappricetoday.com.
Prices are indicative and for information only; they are not offers to buy or sell. Yard quotes in Mumbai vary by grade, volume, condition and buyer.
