Jalna is not a town where you hunt for a scrap buyer. It is a working steel cluster – a genuine re-rolling and TMT belt where the mills melt what they buy rather than flipping it onward. Billet here is holding around ₹40,900/MT with local TMT near ₹45,300/MT, which means the bid you get is backed by furnace demand, not by a trader hoping the market moves his way by Friday. That single fact is why sellers from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Parbhani, Latur, Nanded and Jalgaon regularly bring material here instead of pushing it 250 km to Pune.
But not every scrap dealer in Jalna works the same way. Some weigh straight and pay in two days. Some quote high on the phone, then rediscover your grade at the gate. The list below is ordered on the three things that actually decide what you take home: the rate, the honesty of the weighbridge, and how fast the money lands.
Top Scrap Dealers in Jalna, Ranked
🥇 RANKED #1 – BEST OVERALL RATE & FASTEST PAYMENT
Steel Baba – Jalna
We buy direct in Jalna, which is the whole point – there is no commission agent standing between your weighbridge slip and the mill price. Iron punching scrap is at ₹36,600/MT today, and we also take HMS 1 and HMS 2, MS sheet and plant cutting, end-cutting, CR busheling, cast iron in both grades, oily turnings and mixed yard lots. You get a firm price the same day you call, a certified weighbridge reading before unloading rather than after, a proper GST invoice, and payment inside 48 hours. Grade is agreed before the truck moves, so there is no regrading argument at the gate. Free pickup across Jalna, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Parbhani, Latur, Nanded and Jalgaon on lots from 500 kg upward.
🥈 RANKED #2 – STRONG ON BULK FERROUS
SK Steels
A solid second call, particularly if you are moving bulk ferrous rather than sorted premium grades. Worth getting a quote from them alongside ours – on full truckloads of HMS and general melting scrap the two of us will often be within ₹300 to ₹500 a tonne of each other, and having the second number in hand is how you make sure you are not leaving anything on the table. Confirm their current grade list and payment terms directly when you call.
Other Scrap Dealers in Jalna Worth Knowing About
Below the top two, these are established GST-registered yards in the city. We publish a phone number only where we have confirmed it belongs to the business rather than to a directory routing service, so what follows is name, address and specialisation. Call at the yard or reach them through their trade listing.
🥉 RANK 3 – MS MELTING SCRAP AND PLATE ROLLING
Kishor Traders
📍 Shop No. 2585, Shola Chowk, Jalna 431203, Maharashtra · GST-registered wholesaler
A long-standing Shola Chowk wholesaler dealing in M.S. scrap, MS melting scrap, MS plate rolling and MS super and heavy grades, along with iron and aluminium scrap. Worth a call if your load is squarely melting-grade MS and you want a straightforward trade with a yard that has been on that corner a long time. No direct line we can verify for publication.
4 RANK 4 – CHANNEL, ANGLE AND ROD SCRAP
H.A. Traders
📍 Jalna, Maharashtra · Trading since 2004
Twenty-plus years in the Jalna market as a wholesaler of iron channel scrap, MS angle scrap and MS rod scrap. The specialisation matters more than sellers realise: if your material is structural offcuts, channels, angles and rod ends rather than mixed yard iron, a yard handling that profile mix every day will grade it more accurately than a generalist, and accurate grading is usually worth more to you than a hopeful quote.
5 RANK 5 – MIDC FACTORY-DIRECT LOTS
Vyankatesh Traders
📍 Plot X-5, Additional MIDC, Aurangabad Road, Jalna 431203, Maharashtra
Sitting inside the Additional MIDC belt on Aurangabad Road, which puts it next door to the units generating factory-direct material in the first place. Convenient for iron and metal scrap coming straight off a shop floor with a gate pass, since the haul is minimal. Two further established names in the city worth adding to your call list: Gaurav Traders at 11132/D-1, Mahalaxmi Nagar, Mantha Chowk, and Sahara Trading at Shop No. 32, Aurangabad Road.
3. MIDC-Based Industrial Scrap Traders
These operate inside or alongside the Jalna MIDC belt and buy almost exclusively factory-direct material – press shop punchings, plant cutting, clean MS offcuts, documented industrial lots. They pay well, currently ₹35,700 to ₹36,700/MT on clean MIDC lots, but most will not touch yard-collected or household-origin scrap and many want a minimum of 5 tonnes. If you are a manufacturer clearing your own generation, this is your natural counterparty. If you are an aggregator with mixed material, expect to be turned away.
4. Mill-Linked Buyers and Brokers
Jalna’s induction furnaces and re-rolling mills buy through a layer of brokers who work on commission, typically ₹200 to ₹400 a tonne. On large volumes a good broker earns that by placing your material with whichever mill has a genuine hole in its charge mix that week. On smaller loads the commission is simply money off your rate for no added value. Ask directly whether you are speaking to a broker or a principal buyer. A straight answer to that question tells you most of what you need to know.
5. Local Kabadiwala and Small-Lot Collectors
For household iron, a few hundred kilos of grills and gates, or an old two-wheeler, the neighbourhood collector is the right and only practical option. Rates here sit ₹5 to ₹7/kg below the wholesale baseline, which is not anybody cheating you – it is the genuine cost of small-lot aggregation, sorting and short-haul transport. What you should never do is accept kabadiwala pricing on factory-sourced or MIDC-origin material. If someone quotes you ₹27/kg on clean punchings, that is a test of whether you know your grade, not an offer.
💡 Run this test on any scrap dealer in Jalna before you load: ask them to name the grade and the rate together, in writing on WhatsApp, before the truck leaves. A buyer who will commit to “punching scrap, ₹36,600 per tonne, subject to certified weighbridge” is a buyer you can hold to it. A buyer who says “bring it and we will see” has already told you the negotiation happens after you have lost your leverage.

Should You Sell in Jalna or Truck It to Pune?
This is the question that costs Marathwada sellers the most money, and the answer is not the one the headline rates suggest. Pune’s wholesale baseline is ₹33.75/kg against Jalna’s ₹32.70, so on paper Pune looks better by ₹1.05/kg. Then the freight bill arrives. A 10-tonne load from the Jalna belt to Pune or Mumbai costs ₹9,000 to ₹13,000 in transport and tolls, which is ₹0.90 to ₹1.30/kg. The haul eats the entire gap and usually a bit more.
| Grade | Jalna | Pune | Pune after freight | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron punching scrap | ₹36.60 | ₹36.50 – ₹38.50 | ₹35.40 – ₹37.40 | ✅ Jalna, level-to-better |
| HMS 80:20 base | ₹32.70 | ₹33.75 | ₹32.65 | ✅ Jalna |
| MS sheet / plant cutting | ₹36.50 – ₹40.50 | ₹37 – ₹40.50 | ₹35.90 – ₹39.40 | ✅ Jalna |
| Cast iron (industrial) | ₹30 – ₹34 | ₹30.50 – ₹34 | ₹29.40 – ₹32.90 | ✅ Jalna |
| Mixed / unsorted | ₹27.50 – ₹30.50 | ₹28.50 – ₹31.50 | ₹27.40 – ₹30.40 | ✅ Jalna |
| HMS 1 (clean, bulk) | ₹33 – ₹36 | ₹39 – ₹41 | ₹37.90 – ₹39.90 | Pune, on big clean volumes |
So the honest answer, grade by grade: sell in Jalna for punchings, base HMS, sheet, cast iron and anything mixed. The one real exception is large volumes of genuinely clean, sorted HMS 1, where Pune’s premium is wide enough to survive the trip. We would rather tell you that than have you discover it at a weighbridge 250 km from home. If you do decide to move material out of the district, read scrap transport costs across Maharashtra first so the freight number in your head matches the one on the invoice.
How to Choose a Scrap Dealer in Jalna
Five checks, and they take about ten minutes in total. Sellers who do them consistently earn ₹1.50 to ₹2/kg more than sellers who walk in cold.
- Get the grade and rate in writing before dispatch. A WhatsApp message naming the grade and the per-tonne figure is enough. This is the single highest-value thing you can do
- Insist on a certified weighbridge slip taken before the material reaches the buyer’s gate. At ₹32.70/kg, a 150 kg discrepancy on one truck is ₹4,905 gone in silence. The mechanics are covered in weighbridge vs yard weighing
- Confirm the payment cycle up front. Jalna’s working standard is 24 to 48 hours for regular suppliers. Anyone asking for 15 or 30 days on a first deal should be pricing that delay into your rate, or you should walk
- Ask for a GST invoice. A registered buyer claims the 18% input credit and can therefore afford to pay more for material arriving with clean paperwork. See our GST guide for Maharashtra scrap sellers
- Call three buyers, not one. The spread between the first and best quote on identical material in Jalna is routinely ₹1 to ₹2/kg. On a 10-tonne load that is ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 for two phone calls
Two more things worth reading before your next deal: factory vs yard scrap price difference explains why documented origin is worth ₹3,000 to ₹4,000 a tonne, and scrap seller mistakes to avoid covers the grading and timing errors that cost first-time sellers the most.
The Best Day to Sell Scrap in Jalna
Tuesday to Thursday morning. Induction furnaces across the Jalna, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Nanded corridor are actively filling their intake calendars mid-week, so a buyer has a real reason to commit at a fair price. Friday afternoon is the worst window in the district – plant managers do not want trucks queuing over the weekend with skeleton maintenance staff on site, so they turn selective and simply wait until Monday. Sellers who need to move material before the weekend routinely accept ₹1 to ₹2/kg below Wednesday levels. Waiting 48 hours costs you nothing.

Scrap Dealers in Jalna – FAQs
Steel Baba ranks first for overall rate, weighbridge transparency and payment speed – iron punching scrap at ₹36,600/MT today, firm price the same day, certified weighbridge slip, GST invoice and payment inside 48 hours. Call +91 70201 82128. SK Steels is a solid second call on bulk ferrous, reachable on +91 75079 24422. Beyond those two, the Jalna market splits into MIDC-based industrial traders, mill-linked brokers working on ₹200–₹400/t commission, and local kabadiwala collectors for household lots.
As of 12 Aug 2026, Jalna scrap dealers are paying ₹36,600/MT (₹36.60/kg) for iron punching scrap, which is the best grade in the market, ₹36,500–₹40,500/MT for MS sheet and plant cutting, ₹35,500–₹39,000/MT for end-cutting and CR busheling, and ₹32,700/MT on the HMS 80:20 base index. Mixed and unsorted material sits at ₹27,500–₹30,500/MT. All figures are ex-yard and exclude 18% GST.
Jalna, for most grades. Pune’s baseline of ₹33.75/kg looks higher than Jalna’s ₹32.70, but freight from the Jalna belt runs ₹9,000–₹13,000 per 10-tonne load, or ₹0.90–₹1.30/kg, which wipes out the whole gap. After freight, Jalna nets more on punching scrap, base HMS, MS sheet, cast iron and mixed material. The exception is large volumes of genuinely clean sorted HMS 1, where Pune pays ₹39–₹41/kg and the premium survives the trip.
It depends on who you call. We collect from 500 kg upward with free pickup. MIDC-based industrial traders typically want 5 tonnes or more and only accept documented factory-direct material. Bulk sellers with a tonne or more can negotiate directly with mills and furnaces, while smaller lots go through aggregators whose margin comes out of your rate. Local kabadiwala collectors will take anything from a few kilos but pay ₹5–₹7/kg below the wholesale baseline.
The working standard in Jalna is 24 to 48 hours for regular suppliers, and that is what we settle in. Treat longer terms as a price, not a formality – if a buyer wants 15 or 30 days on a first deal, either that delay is priced into your rate or you should be calling someone else. A slightly lower rate that clears in two days beats a higher number you chase for three weeks.
Because it needs nothing done to it. Punchings come off industrial stamping and press operations as small, dense, uniform pieces of pure mild steel with no rust, no dirt and no mixed metal content, so a furnace can charge them direct with predictable yield and no pre-processing. That melt certainty is worth a premium of roughly ₹3,900/t over the HMS 80:20 base, which is why punching scrap is at ₹36,600/MT while base melting scrap sits at ₹32,700/MT.
Jalna city, Jalna MIDC Phase I, II and III, Ambad, Badnapur, Bhokardan, Jafferabad, Mantha, Partur and Ghansawangi, with free pickup on lots from 500 kg. We also collect across Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Parbhani, Latur, Nanded and Jalgaon, where the short haul into Jalna still leaves sellers better off than trucking material to Pune or Mumbai.
