As seen in the charts, Aditya Birla Group's flagship company, Hindalco has a very positive correlation with LME Aluminium prices. An investor both long-term or short-term should check trend of LME aluminium prices going forward before buying Hindalco.

Hindalco has an advantage over its peers with captive power plant and smelter production plant situated in Orissa, one of the largest states with bauxite reserves.
