MCX announces further delay, says trading will now start at 10:30 am

The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) has announced another delay in the commencement of trading on Tuesday (October 28) due to a technical issue. The exchange said on its website that trading will now begin at 10:30 am.

Earlier, MCX had postponed the start of trading twice—first from its usual opening time of 9 am to 9:30 am, and then to 10 am—before issuing the latest update.

“Update as on 10:00 AM – Members are requested to note that trading will start at 10:30 AM due to technical issue. Trading will start from DR. Inconvenience is regretted,” the message on the exchange’s website stated.

MCX has not specified the cause or nature of the glitch but confirmed that operations will resume from its Disaster Recovery (DR) site.

The Multi Commodity Exchange, based in Mumbai, is India’s largest commodity derivatives bourse, offering trading in futures and options across commodities such as gold, silver, crude oil, and base metals. The exchange operates under the regulatory supervision of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
