Currently Hindlaco is trading at around Rs. 170 while the partly paid hindalco shares are trading at Rs. 89.

However, the partly paid shares of Hindaco simulates the movement in price of fully paid Hindalco shares so as to maintain the price differential. This offers a double advantage to holders of partly paid shares. One, they are able to trade in hindalco at nearly 52% of the price of fully paid sahes and hence are able to take more exposure. The other bigger advantage is that in order to maintain the price differential the partly paid shares move at a higher percentage than the fully paid up share, thus providing more room for traders.
