Live Scrap Rates in Khuzdar

Khuzdar, Balochistan's third-largest city, sits at the junction of routes connecting Quetta to the Makran coast and Karachi to western Balochistan, making it a natural collection point for scrap from a wide catchment area. Mining activity—particularly chromite, marble, and antimony extraction—defines the city's scrap profile. The Khuzdar Cement Factory and scattered agricultural tube-well operations supplement the industrial scrap base.

Chromite-mining equipment scrap, including drill bits, conveyor idlers, and crusher components, trades at PKR 72–90/kg for standard steel grades, with alloy-steel components fetching up to PKR 110/kg. Marble-quarry wire-saw scrap and diamond-segment waste attract specialist buyers from Karachi. General mild steel from construction averages PKR 80–96/kg, and copper from QESCO power-infrastructure upgrades fetches PKR 1,730–2,000/kg. Cement-plant wear parts add heavy manganese-steel scrap at PKR 60–78/kg.

Mining companies disposing of scrap in Khuzdar should aggregate material at a site accessible to heavy trucks rather than expecting dealers to navigate difficult mine-access roads. The National Highway (N-25) commercial strip hosts the most active scrap-dealing operations and benefits from through-traffic to Karachi. For chromite-related alloy scrap, obtaining a compositional analysis from the mine's laboratory and sharing it with potential buyers can unlock significantly higher prices than undocumented sale would achieve.
