SME shares can be traded on the stock exchanges via your stock broker in a similar way as the mainboard shares are traded. A few of the differences are: SME shares can be traded only on the exchanges where they are listed i.e. BSE or NSE. SME shares are traded in lots instead of any numbers. For example: Mainboard share of Reliance Industries can be traded in a minimum quantity of 1 share. SME share of Timescan Logistics is traded in the lot size of 2000 shares. This means you can buy/sell a minimum of 2000 shares in one order.
