Zinc Rate Per Kg — The Figure the Trade Actually Uses
The zinc rate per kg in India today comes to ₹331.90, built from a live per-gram rate of ₹0.33 on September 17, 2026. Ask anyone who actually buys zinc for a living — a galvanizing contractor, an alloy supplier, a scrap dealer — and they'll quote you a per-kg or per-tonne figure without hesitation. Nobody in that business thinks in grams.
Behind that number sits a fairly short chain: the international zinc price set on the London Metal Exchange, converted into rupees at the day's USD/INR rate. That converted figure is what shows up here, ahead of any import duty, freight, or dealer margin a real purchase would carry.

Ingot, Alloy, and Coated Steel: Not the Same Per Kg Number
A per-kg quote for raw zinc ingot is a different thing from the per-kg cost baked into a length of galvanized steel or a die-cast bracket. The LME zinc benchmark this page tracks is for the metal itself, in bulk form, before it gets processed into anything a factory floor actually uses.
Where the kg rate feeds into a finished cost
Galvanizing — dipping or coating steel in a protective zinc layer to stop it rusting — is by far zinc's biggest end use, and the amount of zinc a project consumes is a direct function of the surface area being coated, not some fixed percentage of the steel's weight. A construction firm pricing a batch of guardrails or roofing sheet will factor the current zinc rate per kg into that galvanizing line item well before the steel itself is even costed. Die-casters do something similar with zinc alloy, which is used for precision-molded components in cars and consumer goods — the alloy mix adds cost on top of the raw metal rate, but the LME zinc price is still the starting point for that calculation.
Zinc-based batteries are a smaller, but real, third demand pocket worth knowing about, even though they don't move the per-kg number the way galvanizing and die-casting do at scale.

Using the Per Kg Rate for Quoting and Procurement
If you're the one preparing a quote — for a galvanizing job, an alloy order, or a bulk zinc purchase — a single day's rate is a starting point, not the whole answer. What matters more is whether that rate has been drifting up or holding steady over the stretch the history table below covers, because that trend is what tells you whether to lock in a price now or wait.
Supply-side context matters too. China, Peru, and Australia are among the largest zinc-producing countries, so mine output, smelter maintenance schedules, and shipping conditions in those markets all filter through to the LME price eventually — and from there, into the rupee figure shown on this page.
For day-to-day procurement, the practical habit is the same one experienced buyers already use: check today's per-kg rate against the comparison card above before committing to a large order, rather than reacting to any single day's number in isolation.
Zinc Rate Per Kg — Common Questions
The zinc rate per kg in India today is ₹331.90, worked out from a live per-gram rate of ₹0.33 as of September 17, 2026.
The chain starts with LME zinc, quoted in US dollars per tonne on the London Metal Exchange. That gets converted into rupees using the day's USD/INR rate, then scaled down to a per-kilogram figure — before any local import duty, freight or dealer margin is added for an actual transaction.
Scaling the same per-kilogram figure up to a full metric tonne gives roughly ₹331,899.00. Zinc is quoted internationally by the tonne on the LME, so this is the closest like-for-like comparison to the exchange price.
Not exactly. This figure reflects the raw metal value converted to rupees. A galvanizer buying zinc ingot, or a die-caster buying zinc alloy, pays that base cost plus import duty, processing charges and a supplier margin, so the real invoice is higher than the bare per-kg number here.
Because nobody transacts zinc in gram quantities. It moves through the supply chain in kilogram lots and tonne lots — ingots, coils, and bulk shipments — so the kilogram is the unit the physical market actually runs on, even though this page also shows the per-gram figure for consistency with the rest of the site.
