One Kg Copper Price in India Today
The one kg copper price in India today stands at ₹1,210.56 if you convert the live per-gram rate into a straight kilogram value. That is the number most fabricators, cable stockists, and small traders want first, because one kilogram is the practical buying unit in the market.
On a market day, that figure does not come out of thin air. It moves with MCX copper futures, the LME copper benchmark, and the rupee's move against the dollar. If London trades firmer overnight, domestic buyers usually feel it fast.
- 1 gram: ₹1.21
- 10 grams: ₹12.11
- 100 grams: ₹121.06
- 1 kg: ₹1,210.56
- 1 metric tonne: ₹1,210,564.00
For industrial buyers, that tonne number matters more than the retail gram quote. For everyone else, the kilogram rate is easier to compare against copper wire price, copper rod price, and copper scrap price without getting lost in conversion noise.

Why the 1 Kg Copper Rate Moves the Way It Does
Most Indian copper pricing starts with the LME copper spot price, then gets converted into rupees, then gets adjusted for duty, freight, and local supply. That is the basic skeleton. The market may dress it up with a few more charges, but the bones are the same.
What matters on the ground
India still depends heavily on imported refined copper for the clean end of the market, especially ETP copper and copper cathode. Basic customs duty is part of the picture, GST follows on the invoiced value, and the rupee can make a decent move on its own even if London stays quiet. That is why two days with the same LME print can still produce slightly different tamba bhav in local trade.
Demand is not random either. Construction activity, power grid work, solar installations, EV wiring, and cable orders all pull on the same chain. When infrastructure spending is strong, copper wires and rods move first; when monsoon slows site work, stockists often become less aggressive. Scrap also sits in its own lane. It trades cheaper than refined copper because purity and processing costs are part of the bill.

How Buyers Should Read Copper Prices Over Time
Copper is a cyclical industrial metal, so the one kg copper price in India rarely behaves like a calm retail commodity. One month it looks steady. The next month a weaker Chinese industrial print, a tighter mine supply story, or a sharper dollar move can change the tone completely.
That is why traders watch MCX copper futures alongside LME copper instead of looking at a single day’s price in isolation. Futures tell you where the market expects stress or softness to build. Spot tells you what buyers are paying right now. The gap between the two can be useful, especially when stockists start restocking ahead of a busy electrical season.
Retail investors in India do not get the same clean product stack that gold enjoys through sovereign bonds or branded digital schemes. Copper exposure mostly comes through MCX contracts, commodity mutual funds with base metal allocation, and physical buying from stockists and recyclers. If your work depends on cables, pipes, or motor windings, the kilogram rate matters even more than the headline global quote.
The better way to read the market is simple: watch the 52-week range, keep an eye on rupee weakness, and note whether the move is coming from London or from domestic demand. A tight LME market with a softer rupee usually pushes Indian rates up faster than buyers expect. A quiet LME session with decent local demand can still keep copper firm. The market rarely gives free lunch.
One Kg Copper Price in India — FAQs
The one kg copper price in India today is ₹1.21 as of July 29, 2026. The exact figure can move through the day with MCX copper futures, LME copper, and the rupee-dollar exchange rate.
Copper price per kg is simply the gram rate multiplied by 1,000. If the live copper price is ₹1.21 per gram, then 1 kg copper works out to about ₹1,210.56 before any dealer premium, fabrication, or delivery charges.
LME copper is the global benchmark quoted in USD per metric tonne. MCX copper trades in INR and absorbs exchange-rate moves, import duty, GST, and local supply conditions. That is why the domestic rate often looks a little higher than a straight LME conversion.
ETP means Electrolytic Tough Pitch copper. It is the standard high-purity copper grade used in electrical wiring and many industrial applications. The MCX copper contract tracks this quality more closely than lower-grade copper scrap or mixed alloys.
Yes, copper scrap usually trades at a discount because it may need sorting, refining, and quality checks. Scrap is useful for smelters and recyclers, but the price is not the same as clean ETP copper cathode or rod.
