Indian Exchanges Introduce Closing Auction Session and Adjust F O Market Timings from August 3
From August 3, Indian stock exchanges will implement a Closing Auction Session (CAS) for stocks with active futures and options (F O) contracts, replacing the previous method of determining closing prices based on the volume-weighted average price of the last 30 minutes. CAS will run from 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm, with equity derivatives closing at 3:40 pm. The change aims to reduce price manipulation, though Zerodha's co-founder Nithin Kamath highlighted concerns about increased tracking errors for passive funds and potential impacts on brokerage income.
