A simple, honest answer to a question that gets asked a lot — plus the small print that actually decides your final number.
People often expect one fixed "India price" for iron scrap, but the real answer changes by state, by city, and even by the specific mill or recycler a local buyer sells onward to. What you'll usually see quoted online is a national average, which is a useful reference point but rarely the exact number you'll be paid at your doorstep.
What we can tell you accurately is today's indicative rate for our Uttar Pradesh network: roughly ₹25 per kg for standard mixed iron scrap. That number moves with domestic steel demand and can shift by a few rupees within a week.
