India’s largest stockbroker, Zerodha, faced fresh heat from traders on Tuesday morning as multiple users reported issues with the Kite app and web platform. Social media was flooded with screenshots showing Nifty and Bank Nifty prices stuck at 0.00, watchlists not updating, and order placements failing.
Several users voiced frustration, with one post reading, “We need compensation for loss”, while another highlighted, “Nifty 0 ho gaya be!”. The outage reportedly began around market opening and quickly became one of the top-trending discussions under the hashtag #Zerodha on X.
Founded in 2010, Zerodha is India’s biggest retail brokerage, serving over 1.3 crore clients, with daily trading volumes accounting for a significant portion of NSE and BSE retail trades. Known for its discount brokerage model and simple interface, Kite has been the backbone of retail participation in India’s stock market boom.
But this isn’t the first time Zerodha has faced technical glitches. Over the past few years, intermittent outages during high-volatility sessions have drawn criticism, with traders demanding accountability for losses incurred during platform downtimes.
As of now, Zerodha has not issued an official statement, but users continue to demand clarity and resolution. With Indian markets highly sensitive during intraday moves, such outages directly impact lakhs of active traders.
