Lead Price Today in India — The Direct Answer
Lead price today in India comes to ₹165.53 per kilogram, worked out from a live benchmark of ₹0.17 per gram as of September 17, 2026. That per-kg figure is the one worth remembering. Lead has no retail gram trade the way gold or silver does — it moves through the market in ingots, battery-grade lots and scrap consignments, priced in kilograms and tonnes from the very first quote.
- Per gram (reference only): ₹0.17
- Per kilogram: ₹165.53
- Per metric tonne: ₹165,528.00
The benchmark itself traces back to the London Metal Exchange, where lead has traded as a standard base metal contract for well over a century. MCX lead futures in India track that LME price closely once it's converted through the prevailing USD/INR rate, and this page's number reflects that same chain.

Why Lead Is Quoted So Differently From Gold or Silver
Walk into a jewellery shop and you'll get a gold quote in rupees per gram without blinking. Ask a scrap dealer or a battery manufacturer for a lead quote and grams simply don't come up — the conversation happens in kilograms, and once volumes get serious, in tonnes. That's not a quirk of this website; it reflects how lead actually changes hands. There's no lead bar behind a glass counter, no lead coin, nothing bought in small personal quantities.
How the number actually gets built
Start with the LME lead price in US dollars per tonne — that's the internationally recognised benchmark. Convert it into rupees at the day's USD/INR rate, and you get the raw landed figure that MCX lead futures and Indian industrial buyers work from. Local factors add their own layer on top: freight, dealer margin, and — for anyone buying scrap rather than virgin metal — a discount that reflects purity and contamination in the recycled material.
Because lead is a base metal rather than a precious one, its day-to-day price action tends to follow industrial sentiment and LME positioning rather than the safe-haven currents that move gold. A soft patch in construction or automotive output can weigh on it just as easily as a currency move can.

Who Actually Checks This Number Every Day
The audience for a daily lead price is narrower and more specific than for gold, and that's by design. Battery manufacturers buying lead ingot for production runs, scrap dealers pricing incoming used batteries, and industrial recyclers negotiating supply contracts all need a consistent daily reference point — one that doesn't depend on whichever dealer happens to be quoting that morning.
If you want the reasoning behind why the price sits where it does today, rather than just the number itself, the site's what affects lead price page walks through the demand and supply mechanics in more depth. And for a longer view than this page's 10-day window, the lead price history page carries the recorded data further back, month by month.
Lead Price Today — FAQs
The lead price today in India works out to ₹165.53 per kg, based on a live benchmark of ₹0.17 per gram as of September 17, 2026. Lead is quoted and traded in kilograms and tonnes, not grams, so the per-kg figure is the one that actually matters commercially.
Because nobody buys lead the way they buy gold. There is no lead jewellery counter, no lead coin, and no retail bullion trade in lead at all. The metal moves in industrial quantities — battery plates, scrap lots, ingots — so kilograms and tonnes are the natural units, and the per-gram number exists mainly as the underlying calculation step.
The starting point is the international lead price on the London Metal Exchange (LME), quoted in US dollars per tonne. That figure gets converted into rupees using the prevailing USD/INR exchange rate, and Indian trading activity on MCX lead futures tends to track it closely, with local dealer premiums and scrap-market conditions layered on top for physical transactions.
Generally lead moves more like a base metal than a precious metal — its day-to-day swings tend to track industrial demand and LME sentiment rather than the safe-haven flows that push gold and silver around. That said, day-to-day moves in either direction are normal and this page's comparison section shows exactly how today stacks up against the past week, month and year.
At today's rate, 1 kilogram of lead is worth ₹165.53, and 1 metric tonne works out to ₹165,528.00. Most commercial lead transactions in India, from battery manufacturers to scrap recyclers, are negotiated at the tonne level.
