Gallium Price Per Tonne — A Number Worth Sizing, Not Quoting
One tonne of gallium, scaled straight from today's per-gram rate of ₹22.98, comes to ₹22,982,641.00 on September 17, 2026. Nobody should read that as an actual bulk quote — it's arithmetic, useful mainly for putting gallium's tiny global market into perspective against metals that genuinely move by the tonne.
- 1 kilogram: ₹22,982.64
- 10 kilograms: ₹229,826.41
- 100 kilograms: ₹2,298,264.10
- 1 metric tonne: ₹22,982,641.00

Why a "Tonne" Means Something Different for Gallium
Copper, aluminium, and zinc get bought and sold by the thousands of tonnes without much comment — that's simply the scale of those markets. Gallium doesn't work that way. World refined output runs to only a few hundred tonnes a year, so a single tonne isn't a rounding error the way it would be for a bulk industrial metal; it's a genuinely meaningful chunk of annual global supply.
Byproduct supply caps how large this market can get
That scale ceiling isn't a temporary market condition — it's structural. Gallium is recovered from bauxite and zinc ore processing in small concentrations, and producers can't simply mine more of it the way a copper company can open a new pit. Global gallium supply tracks decisions made in the aluminium and zinc industries, industries with their own economics that have nothing to do with gallium demand.
| Metal | Primary Byproduct Source |
|---|---|
| Gallium | Bauxite (aluminium ore), some zinc ore |
| Indium | Zinc ore processing |
| Tellurium | Copper anode slimes |
| Rhodium | Platinum and palladium refining |

What Actually Moves This Reference Rate
Because the underlying market is this thin, comparatively modest shifts in either bauxite-refining output or semiconductor demand for gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) can register as a visible move in the per-gram figure — and, scaled up, in this per-tonne number too. That's worth remembering before reading too much into any single day's change.
The comparison table and 10-day history above track that movement in context. For a longer view, the site's own gallium price history page keeps real recorded figures by year and month.
Gallium Price Per Tonne — FAQs
Scaled from today's per-gram figure of ₹22.98, one tonne of gallium works out to ₹22,982,641.00 on September 17, 2026. Treat it as an order-of-magnitude reference, not a quoted bulk price — actual tonne-scale deals are individually negotiated and rare.
Rarely, and that's the point of this page: global refined gallium output runs to only a few hundred tonnes a year. A single tonne represents a meaningful slice of annual world supply, so tonne-scale single transactions are the exception, not the norm, unlike a bulk metal such as aluminium or copper.
Because gallium isn't mined for its own sake — it's recovered as a byproduct of bauxite and zinc processing, in tiny concentrations relative to the aluminium or zinc extracted from the same ore. Producers can't simply decide to make more gallium; output tracks decisions made in much larger industries.
Not one comparable in liquidity to LME copper or aluminium contracts. Gallium trades mostly through direct commercial agreements between refiners, distributors, and semiconductor manufacturers rather than on a deep, exchange-traded futures market.
Real buyers transact in kilogram lots, at prices that vary by purity grade — semiconductor-grade gallium costs meaningfully more per unit than industrial grade. This page's tonne figure is a straight-line scale-up of the per-gram reference rate, not a blended real-world bulk price.
