The National Stock Exchange halted trading in the Futures & Options Market at 11:40 am and the cash market at 11:43 am on Wednesday.
Reportedly, the index price feed for indices across brokers froze due to a technical glitch.
“NSE has multiple telecom links with two service providers to ensure redundancy. We have received communication from both the telecom service providers that there are issues with their links due to which there is an impact on NSE system,” NSE said on Twitter.
“We are working on restoring the systems as soon as possible. In view of the above, all the segments have been closed at 11:40 and will be restored as soon as issue is resolved,” NSE added.
