MCX technical glitch: According to the MCX, trading was expected to begin at 9:30 AM instead of the usual 9:00 AM opening time.
The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the largest commodity trading bourse in the country, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, faced a technical glitch which resulted in the delay of the opening of trades. According to the MCX, trading was expected to begin at 9:30 AM instead of the usual 9:00 AM opening time.
“Members are requested to note that trading will start at 9:30 AM due to technical issue. Trading will start from DR. Inconvenience is regretted,” the exchange said.
However, the website continued to experience technical issues even after that and took longer than expected to load.
Earlier, the MCX faced a similar issue on July 23, 2025. While the exchange initially put a notice on its website saying that trading would resume by 9:45 am, it later revised the time to 10.10 am. Trading finally began around 10:17 am.
MCX Faced Glitch Last Year Also
The exchange faced a glitch in February last year as well. At that time, the operations were suspended for four hours. The glitch was reportedly related to its transition to a new trading platform.
