Tellurium Rate Per Kg — Today's Figure
The tellurium rate per kg in India today comes to ₹10,427.07, based on a live per-gram benchmark of ₹10.43 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 tellurium commercially works in grams. It changes hands between copper refiners, specialty chemical processors and solar-panel makers, and those deals are quoted in kilograms and tonnes.
Here is the full conversion table at today's rate:
- 1 gram: ₹10.43
- 10 grams: ₹104.27
- 100 grams: ₹1,042.71
- 1 kilogram: ₹10,427.07
- 1 metric tonne: ₹10,427,067.00
One honest caveat belongs right at the top: this benchmark tracks tellurium as a priced commodity, not a specific invoice. Real transactions carry their own purity grade — high-purity tellurium destined for cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells is a different specification from tellurium used to improve the machinability of an alloy — and those grade differences sit on top of a general benchmark like this one.
Tellurium Rate Per Kg and Other Weight Units
Today's Tellurium rate is Ten Rupees per gram. At this rate, 10 grams of Tellurium costs One Hundred and Four Rupees.

Why the Per-Kg Framing Matters More for Tellurium 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. Tellurium has no equivalent retail unit, because there is no retail tellurium trade of any kind. Nobody walks into a shop and buys a gram of tellurium. The kilogram, and at true industrial scale the tonne, is the unit that actually shows up on a purchase order between a refiner and a buyer.
What sits behind the per-kg number
Almost all of the world's tellurium supply comes from one place: the anode slimes left behind when copper is electrolytically refined. A copper refinery can choose to recover tellurium from that slime — but only if doing so makes economic sense at current tellurium prices and processing costs, which is not automatic. That single supply channel is why tellurium's per-kg rate is tied more closely to copper refining volumes and economics than to tellurium demand acting on its own.
That structure is worth understanding because it explains why the per-kg rate can move even without any change in solar-panel demand. A shift in copper refining throughput, or in how many refiners bother running the extra tellurium-recovery step, can move this benchmark independent of what CdTe solar manufacturers are doing.

Using This Rate as a Working Reference
If you are a small trader, a student researching critical-minerals supply chains, or simply curious why tellurium keeps coming up in solar-industry news, the per-kg rate on this page is meant as an anchor, not a final invoice number. It gives 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 is shaped overwhelmingly by one force: cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar panels, a real and established alternative to silicon-based panels, made at scale by manufacturers including First Solar. A smaller, steadier slice of demand comes from alloying uses — tellurium improves the machinability of certain steel and copper alloys — and from thermoelectric applications.

Tellurium Rate Per Kg — FAQs
The tellurium rate per kg in India today is ₹10,427.07, worked out from a live per-gram rate of ₹10.43 as of September 17, 2026. Multiply the per-gram figure by 1,000 and that is the kilogram number.
Nobody buying tellurium commercially works in grams. It moves between copper refiners, chemical processors and solar-panel manufacturers in kilogram and tonne lots, so a per-kg figure is the practical unit even though the underlying database stores the raw benchmark per gram.
No. There is no retail bullion market for tellurium at all — no coin, no bar, no jewellery-counter equivalent. This page tracks an industrial benchmark rate for a specialty material that is recovered as a copper-refining byproduct, not a precious-metal investment product.
At today's rate, 1 metric tonne works out to ₹10,427,067.00. Given how little tellurium the world actually recovers each year, tonne-level quantities represent meaningful volume in this particular market, unlike in a large industrial metal market such as copper or aluminium.
Tellurium supply depends almost entirely on how much copper is being electrolytically refined and how much of the resulting anode slime a refiner chooses to process for tellurium recovery. That is a narrow, indirect supply channel compared to a metal that is mined for its own sake, so a change in copper refining economics or in solar-panel demand can move this rate more noticeably.
