what happened
India's Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), together with NSE and BSE, will hold a special Diwali Muhurat session on Sunday, November 8, opening the Samvat 2083 trading year, according to Moody's. Contracts across all commodities and indices will be open during the window, but the timing differs from last year's schedule.
Under an October 19 circular, the special session runs from 2:05 pm to 2:19 pm, and the main session follows from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm. The CCM window, where eligible client code corrections can be made, stays open until 3:45 pm, giving members 15 minutes after regular trading ends.
Compared with the October 21, 2025 session, the start has moved 35 minutes later and the main session is 10 minutes longer. The CCM cutoff shifted from 3 pm to 3:45 pm.
why it matters
For the broader market this is a minor event, since a short holiday session mainly affects liquidity and intraday activity in Indian commodity futures. For exchange members, the precise timing matters most, especially the extra time to fix client codes after the main session closes.
