Live Scrap Rates in Sukkur

Sukkur, northern Sindh's commercial capital, drives its scrap market through the Sukkur Barrage's irrigation-infrastructure maintenance, cement manufacturing, and a road-freight economy serving the Indus Highway and National Highway corridors. The city's strategic position on the Indus makes it a collection point for scrap from across upper Sindh's agricultural and industrial hinterland. Recent construction of motorway interchanges and bridges has further stimulated demolition and construction scrap volumes.

Barrage and canal-gate steel—thick plate and structural sections—trades at PKR 95–115/kg when released through SIDA auctions. Cement-plant wear parts fetch PKR 65–82/kg, and general mild steel from workshops and construction sites averages PKR 88–105/kg. Copper from HESCO transformer upgrades across Sukkur division commands PKR 1,750–2,000/kg, while aluminium from dismantled cold-storage evaporators trades at PKR 420–490/kg.

Sellers in Sukkur should monitor SIDA and irrigation-department auction schedules, as large government disposals can temporarily depress local market prices by flooding supply. The Rohri and Military Road scrap markets handle the majority of trading activity and offer the widest range of buyer options. For material destined for Karachi's larger recyclers, arranging rail freight via Pakistan Railways' Sukkur junction can be more economical than road transport for loads exceeding five tonnes.
