01

What types of scrap does Diyar e Taiba buy and supply?

We evaluate metal, rubber, textile and paper scrap, including standard grades, production offcuts, post-consumer material, mixed streams and unusual recoverable lots. Final acceptance depends on composition, condition, quantity, economics and destination requirements.

02

Do you accept scrap that is not listed in the catalogue?

Yes. The catalogue covers common trade grades, not an exclusion list. Share the material description, photos, approximate quantity and location so the recovery route and commercial fit can be reviewed.

03

Which markets do you cover?

We are positioned around India, Europe and the Middle East. A specific transaction is assessed against the actual origin, destination, buyer specification and applicable movement requirements.

04

Can you handle recurring monthly scrap volumes?

Yes. Both one-off lots and recurring programmes can be evaluated. For recurring supply, share the expected monthly volume, grade consistency, packing, loading capacity and preferred commercial terms.

05

What information is needed for a scrap quotation?

Provide the material or grade, whether you are buying or selling, approximate volume, frequency, current location or delivery destination, packing form, photos and any buyer acceptance specification.

06

How is scrap quality checked?

Checks are matched to the material. They can cover grade or composition, contamination, attachments, moisture, size, packing, representative photos, weight evidence and buyer-specific acceptance criteria.

07

Do you coordinate domestic and international movement?

Movement can be coordinated around the agreed transaction, including inland transport, loading, container planning and shipment records. The exact scope is confirmed for each route and contract.

08

Is there a minimum order or lot size?

There is no single minimum for every material. Practical quantity depends on value, density, packing, distance, processing route and whether the movement is domestic or containerised.

09

Can buyers provide their own acceptance specification?

Yes. Buyer specifications are used to align the grade, condition, tolerances, inspection evidence and loading plan before commercial approval.
