Due to upgradation of capacity of its hardware and software systems, the NSE will hold a special live trading session on Saturday, said a circular from the exchange. The upgradation will see the technology moving to the next generation system and also improve processing capability so as to handle increased activities in the market.
“The existing trading system architecture will be revamped by using a distributed processing concept,” the circular said.
The live trading session will take place between 11.15 a.m. and 12.45 p.m. for the capital market segment, futures and options segment and the Securities Lending and Borrowing Scheme.
To maintain uniformity with the NSE, the BSE will also hold a similar live trading session on the same day.
The transactions taking place on Saturday will be settled on Monday for the first leg, said the circular.
