NSE Extends Equity Derivatives Trading and Introduces Closing Auction Session from August 2026
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) will extend equity derivatives trading by 10 minutes, moving the close from 3:30 pm to 3:40 pm starting August 3, 2026. This change accompanies the introduction of the Closing Auction Session (CAS) framework, which uses an auction-based mechanism to determine closing prices for securities with corresponding derivatives. The adjustment aims to improve price discovery and ensure smoother coordination between cash and derivatives markets during end-of-day trading. Other trading sessions and risk controls remain unchanged.
