MCX Faces Technical Glitch, Trading Delayed to 10:00 AM on Oct 28, 2025

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.”
