1 Kg Nickel Price — What Buyers Actually Track
Today's 1 kg nickel price comes to ₹1,410.57, built from a live per-gram rate of ₹1.41 on September 17, 2026. Nickel almost never trades in gram quantities in the real world — stainless steel mills and battery-cathode manufacturers think in tonnes, and even smaller fabricators buying nickel-alloy stock quote by the kilogram. The per-gram figure exists purely so this site can track nickel consistently alongside every other metal it covers.
- 1 gram: ₹1.41
- 10 grams: ₹14.11
- 100 grams: ₹141.06
- 1 kilogram: ₹1,410.57
- 1 metric tonne: ₹1,410,573.00
The London Metal Exchange remains the reference point the whole chain ultimately looks back to, even for a small trader quoting a local nickel bhav — LME nickel sets the tone, and MCX nickel futures translate that into a rupee-denominated domestic signal.

Why the Quoted Rate Isn't Always What You Pay
Refined Class 1 nickel — the high-purity form suited to battery cathodes and electroplating — commands a real premium over nickel pig iron (NPI), a cheaper, lower-purity form produced mainly in Indonesia and China that feeds the stainless steel industry instead. A buyer asking for "1 kg nickel price" without specifying which form they mean is really asking two different questions.
Scrap, alloy and form-specific premiums
Nickel scrap, nickel ingot and nickel-bearing alloy stock each carry their own pricing relative to the refined benchmark, shaped by purity, contamination and how much processing is needed before the material is usable again. None of these numbers move in perfect lockstep with the headline LME price, even though they all ultimately reference it.
Currency matters here as much as it does for any imported industrial metal — India has essentially no domestic Class 1 nickel refining capacity at real scale, so a weaker rupee raises the landed cost even if LME nickel itself hasn't moved.

Reading the Trend Before You Buy
Nickel has a genuinely volatile recent history — most dramatically the March 2022 episode when a short squeeze more than doubled prices within hours and forced the LME to suspend trading, an event without much precedent in decades of exchange history. That's an extreme case, but it's a useful reminder that nickel can move faster and harder than most base metals when a supply squeeze or a positioning unwind hits.
For day-to-day tracking, the 10-day history above and the site's own /nickel-price-history/2026 archive give a more grounded read than any single day's number, especially for a metal split between two very different demand stories — stainless steel and EV batteries — that don't always move together.
1 Kg Nickel Price — FAQs for Buyers and Traders

The London Metal Exchange (LME) is nickel's primary global benchmark, and Indian domestic pricing tracks it closely alongside MCX nickel futures, USD/INR movement, and local demand from stainless steel and battery manufacturers.
This page tracks refined nickel. Nickel pig iron (NPI), a lower-cost, lower-purity form used mainly in stainless steel production, and nickel scrap both trade at their own discounts to refined metal because purity and processing requirements differ.
At today's rate of ₹1.41 per gram, 1 metric tonne of nickel works out to roughly ₹1,410,573.00. Industrial buyers and stainless steel producers typically negotiate in tonnes rather than kilograms.
