The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) remains non-operational as of 11:49 AM on Tuesday (October 28) due to a technical issue that has delayed trading for more than two hours.
In its latest announcement, MCX stated:
“The commencement of trading is delayed due to a technical issue. Trading will start from DR (Disaster Recovery) site. The time of commencement of trading will be informed to market participants. Inconvenience is regretted.”
Trading, which usually begins at 9 AM, was initially postponed multiple times — first to 9:30 AM, then 9:45 AM, and later to 10 AM. Even after the 10:30 AM restart update, the issue persisted, with no confirmation on when trading would resume.
Meanwhile, the NSE confirmed that its commodity derivatives segment is fully operational, allowing traders to continue transactions there while MCX services remain halted.
The outage, occurring on a key expiry day, has sparked anger among traders who have called for accountability and a long-term fix for repeated disruptions.
