The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) has further delayed its opening on Tuesday, October 28, despite earlier announcing that trading would resume at 9:30 am via its Disaster Recovery (DR) platform.
As of the latest update, trading remains halted, and the exchange has not confirmed a revised time for market resumption. MCX stated,
“There is a further delay in MCX opening. The revised time is not yet confirmed. We’ll share an update once it’s available.”
The prolonged outage has caused widespread frustration among traders, especially as today marks the monthly expiry day — one of the busiest and most crucial sessions for commodity derivatives trading.
Participants reported that bid and ask rates remain frozen across key contracts including gold, silver, and crude oil futures, with no activity visible on terminals.
Traders have expressed growing concern on social media over the recurring technical glitches at the exchange, noting that issues have persisted for the past 2–3 days. Some called it unacceptable for India’s largest commodity exchange to face such repeated system failures during critical trading windows.
This marks yet another operational setback for MCX, which has faced several technology-related disruptions in recent months, raising questions about system reliability and contingency preparedness.
