India’s grade-wise copper scrap import in H1 FY’26

Brass Honey imports to India were up 7% y-o-y in H1 FY’26 at 69,000 t against overall imports of 240,000 t and held almost flat at 34,086 t in Q2 FY26, a fall of just 2.1% y-o-y despite gains in other scrap grades. This resilience is particularly visible in Jamnagar’s brass hubs, where demand for Honey remains consistent to feed the thousands of small workshops that produce fittings, fasteners, and hardware. Jamnagar, which hosts over 5,000 large and 10,000 small brass workshops, continues to absorb stable volumes even when imported supplies are jittery.
