All prices in ₹ per gram · daily rate, updated once per day
A Handful of Names Dominate Global Tin Supply
Tin production concentrates around a short list of companies and countries far more than a metal like copper does. Yunnan Tin Group, founded in 1883 and based in Kunming, China, is widely cited as the world's largest tin producer. Today's tin reference rate is ₹4.55 per gram on September 17, 2026 — the commodity every one of these companies is ultimately exposed to.

Direct Commodity Exposure vs Company-Specific Risk
The WisdomTree Tin ETC, ticker TINM, takes a different approach entirely — it tracks the Bloomberg Tin Subindex, meaning it follows tin futures price movements directly rather than holding shares in any mining company. That's a meaningfully different exposure than buying PT Timah or Malaysia Smelting Corporation stock, where the company's own costs, output, and country-specific risks sit between an investor and the underlying tin price.
Why country risk matters more for tin than for many metals
Indonesia and China between them account for a large share of global tin supply, which means policy decisions made in either country — export rules, smelting requirements, mining permits — can move the market independently of demand-side factors. A tin mining stock headquartered in either country carries that policy exposure directly, on top of ordinary business risk.

What to Weigh Before Considering Any of These
None of these vehicles are a clean, risk-free proxy for tin's own price. Mining stocks add operational and country-specific risk on top of the commodity; a futures-tracking ETC removes company risk but introduces its own fund-structure and rolling-futures costs. Understanding which kind of exposure each name actually offers matters more than picking a name first and figuring out the mechanics later.
For tin's own price trend, the comparison table and history above track the live reference rate, and the site's tin price history page holds a longer record.

Tin Stocks and ETFs — Common Questions
Yunnan Tin Group, based in Kunming, China and established in 1883, is widely cited as the world's largest tin producer. Indonesia's PT Timah, listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, holds a substantial share of proven global tin reserves. Malaysia Smelting Corporation, listed in Kuala Lumpur, is a major smelter that has grown its output share in recent years.
The WisdomTree Tin ETC (ticker TINM) tracks the Bloomberg Tin Subindex, giving investors exposure to tin futures price movements directly, rather than to a basket of mining company shares.
An ETC (exchange-traded commodity) tracking tin futures moves with the metal's price itself, roughly speaking. A mining stock like PT Timah or Malaysia Smelting Corporation moves on its own production costs, output volumes, and broader company performance — a genuinely different, indirect relationship to the tin price.
PT Timah is reported to hold a substantial share of proven global tin reserves, which is described as a meaningful strategic advantage in a market where tin production is concentrated among a relatively small number of major producing countries.
No. Each carries its own operational, currency, and country-specific risks on top of tin's own price swings — Indonesian and Chinese policy decisions, in particular, can affect these companies independently of what the global tin market is doing.
