Please note the MCX trading hours shall be revised for the period from November 03, 2025 to March 06, 2026 (both days inclusive) on account of change in US daylight saving timings. The revised trading hours shall be as under:

Revised Timings:

Non-Agri Commodities (Metals & Energy): 9:00 AM – 11:55 PM
Select Agri (Cotton, Cotton Seed Wash Oil, Kapas): 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Other Agri Commodities: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Note: Non-Agri contracts will now close at 11:55 PM.

Traders who trade across the above commodity segments can adjust their trade planning for the specified period. Order management, trade execution, and margin requirements will continue to operate as per standard MCX procedures.

The purpose of extending trading hours is to increase participation from a wider range of stakeholders, such as Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), value chain participants (like processors, exporters, etc.), and foreign entities that have real exposure to Indian commodity markets.
