Iron & Steel Scrap Buyers & Sellers in India – HMS 1 & 2 Heavy Melting Scrap, MS and Cast Iron

Ferrous grades we trade

HMS 1, HMS 2 and steel melting scrap

Heavy melting scrap (HMS) is the main steel melting scrap traded in India and internationally. HMS 1 is heavy steel, generally 6.35 mm (¼ inch) and thicker, free of galvanised and blackened material. HMS 2 includes lighter steel and some coated material. Sold together as HMS 1&2 (80:20), it is the standard blend for electric arc and induction furnaces.

• Sellers – factories, contractors and dismantlers – reach HMS 1 and HMS 2 scrap buyers, MS scrap buyers and cast iron scrap buyers across India through one listing.
• Buyers – mills and foundries – find HMS scrap suppliers for bulk ferrous scrap, domestic or imported, with grade, size and contamination agreed in writing.

Cast iron (machine beds, castings, pipes) is sold separately to foundries and should never be mixed into MS or HMS lots.

For sellers: factories, contractors, dismantlers

Volume makes small differences matter: ₹2 per kg on 50 tonnes is ₹1 lakh. We separate cast iron from MS, remove non-ferrous attachments, cut oversize pieces with our own gas-cutting crew and weigh every truck at a government-certified weighbridge. In Ramnagar, our head office is directly opposite Swastik Dharm Kata.

For buyers: mills and foundries

Post your specification – thickness distribution, size limits, coating and contamination limits, monthly tonnage and delivery location. We supply from verified domestic sellers and, where landed costs make sense, imported HMS and shredded scrap through the trade desk. Every lot is photographed at loading, and dispatch and receipt weights are reconciled against an agreed tolerance.

What drives ferrous prices

Domestic steel and billet prices, sponge iron and pig iron alternatives, landed import scrap prices, freight to the furnace and the construction season. Heavy, clean, furnace-ready material always earns the top of the range.

Plant dismantling

When a shed or plant is dismantled, the ferrous scrap usually covers the dismantling cost. We quote dismantling and scrap together, with a written safety plan, so owners can compare net outcomes.
