What Is the Scrap Price Per Kg in Ludhiana?

The scrap price per kg in Ludhiana depends on the type and grade of material. Clean, correctly sorted scrap may receive a different offer from mixed or contaminated material. Some appliances and electronic items may be assessed per unit or according to their recoverable materials rather than using one standard per-kilogram rate. For example, copper wire, iron components and aluminium frames should not be assumed to have the same price across all grades or buyers. Always confirm the pricing unit and final offer before selling.

Why Do Scrap Rates Change?

  • Market demand: Industrial demand and commodity market movements can influence scrap values.
  • Material grade: Purity, composition and recoverable content affect valuation.
  • Quantity: Larger quantities may receive different quotations depending on buyer policy.
  • Condition: Rust, contamination, insulation and missing components can affect the offer.
  • Transportation: Collection distance, loading requirements and logistics may affect the final quote.
  • Buyer policy: Different buyers can offer different prices for the same category.
