Cobalt Rate Per Kg — Today's Figure
The cobalt rate per kg in India today comes to ₹3,563.08, based on a live per-gram benchmark of ₹3.56 on September 17, 2026. Getting from one number to the other is nothing more than multiplying by 1,000 — but the reason this page leads with the kilogram figure is that nobody buying cobalt commercially works in grams. Contracts, shipments and LME-linked pricing in the battery-materials and alloy trade run in kilograms and metric tonnes.
Here is the full conversion table at today's rate:
- 1 gram: ₹3.56
- 10 grams: ₹35.63
- 100 grams: ₹356.31
- 1 kilogram: ₹3,563.08
- 1 metric tonne: ₹3,563,080.00
One honest caveat belongs right at the top: this benchmark tracks cobalt as a priced commodity on the London Metal Exchange, not a specific invoice. Real transactions carry their own purity grade, battery-grade or superalloy-grade certification, and supply-agreement terms on top of a general benchmark like this one.
Cobalt Rate Per Kg and Other Weight Units
Today's Cobalt rate is Four Rupees per gram. At this rate, 10 grams of Cobalt costs Thirty Six Rupees.

| 1 Kilogram | 1,000.0000 g | ₹3,563.08 | Three Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty Three Rupees |
| 1 Ounce (oz) | 28.3495 g | ₹101.01 | One Hundred and One Rupees |
| 1 Troy Ounce | 31.1035 g | ₹110.82 | One Hundred and Eleven Rupees |

Why the Per-Kg Framing Matters More for Cobalt Than It Sounds
Compare this to gold for a second. Gold is priced, marketed and sold in grams and tolas because retail buyers actually purchase gold in those quantities — a 10-gram coin, an 8-gram chain. Cobalt has no equivalent retail unit, because there is no retail cobalt trade. Nobody walks into a shop and buys a gram of cobalt the way they would buy a gram of gold. The kilogram, and at true industrial scale the tonne, is the unit that actually shows up in a purchase order.
What sits behind the per-kg number
Almost all of the cobalt behind this rate traces back to one country. The Democratic Republic of Congo is, by a very wide margin, the world's largest cobalt producer, and a large share of that output is recovered as a byproduct of copper mining rather than from mines built specifically to chase cobalt. That matters for the per-kg number because it means new cobalt supply doesn't simply scale up when the cobalt price rises — it depends heavily on copper mining investment decisions that have their own separate economics.
Nickel mining elsewhere in the world contributes a further, growing slice of byproduct cobalt supply. Both routes feed refiners who process raw cobalt-bearing material into the battery-grade and superalloy-grade forms that actually get bought against this rate.

Using This Rate as a Working Reference
If you are a small trader, a student researching battery supply chains, or simply curious why cobalt keeps coming up in EV and aerospace news, the per-kg rate on this page is meant as an anchor, not a final invoice number. It gives you a consistent daily reference point without pretending to replace an actual supply contract, which would be priced against specific purity grades, delivery terms and volume commitments.
Demand for the underlying material rests on two genuinely different pillars: cathodes for lithium-ion EV batteries, particularly nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistries, and superalloys used in aerospace and jet-engine components, where cobalt's heat resistance is valued. Some cobalt also goes into industrial catalysts. That two-pillar demand structure is one reason cobalt doesn't move in lockstep with a purely EV-driven metal like lithium.

Cobalt Rate Per Kg — FAQs
The cobalt rate per kg in India today is ₹3,563.08, worked out from a live per-gram rate of ₹3.56 as of September 17, 2026. Multiply the per-gram figure by 1,000 and that is the kilogram number.
Nobody buying or selling cobalt commercially thinks in grams. Cobalt is quoted on the London Metal Exchange and contracted in metric tonnes and kilograms, so a per-kg figure is the practical unit even though the underlying database stores the raw number per gram.
This page tracks a rupee-converted benchmark derived from the international cobalt market that the LME reflects. Actual industrial cobalt purchases carry their own purity grade, delivery terms and contract-specific pricing on top of a simple benchmark conversion like this one.
At today's rate, 1 metric tonne works out to ₹3,563,080.00. Industrial-scale cobalt purchases — for battery-material refiners or superalloy producers — are typically negotiated in tonnes, not kilograms, so this figure is closer to how a real deal would actually be framed.
Cobalt supply is unusually concentrated — the Democratic Republic of Congo accounts for the large majority of world output, and much of that arrives as a byproduct of copper and nickel mining rather than from dedicated cobalt mines. That combination of geographic concentration and byproduct economics can make cobalt behave differently from a more geographically spread, primarily-mined metal like copper or aluminium.
