Copper and brass utensils scrap gained at the non-ferrous metal market here today on stockists buying amid good demand from industrial users.
However, tin and zinc weakened further owing to poor offtake from alloy industries.
Copper scrap heavy increased by Rs 9 per kg to Rs 364 from Thursday's close of Rs 355.
Copper cable scrap and copper wire bar rose by Rs 5 per kg each to Rs 370 and Rs 398 as compared to yesterday's close of Rs 365 and Rs 393.
