MCX delays trading start to 10:00 AM after a technical glitch disrupts normal operations; share price slips 0.88% in early trade.

The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) announced a delay in trading on Tuesday, 28 October 2025, due to a technical glitch affecting its systems.

In an early morning update, the exchange informed members that trading would commence at 10:00 AM, instead of the usual start time, as it worked to restore services and ensure smooth operations.

Technical Glitch Disrupts Early Trading

As per news reports, in an official communication at 9:45 AM, MCX stated:

“Members are requested to note that the trading will start at 10:00 AM due to a technical issue. Trading will start from DR. Inconvenience is regretted.”

The notice confirmed that operations were being resumed through the Disaster Recovery (DR) site — a backup infrastructure used in case of system failures. Such measures are standard protocol to ensure business continuity and data integrity during unexpected disruptions.

Market Impact and Investor Reaction

The delay led to brief uncertainty among traders and investors during early hours. Market participants noted that while short-term volatility could arise once trading resumed, MCX’s prompt communication helped mitigate panic and maintain operational transparency.

The stock opened at ₹9,319.50, hit a high of ₹9,328.00, and touched a low of ₹9,173.00 during the session.

Conclusion
