Leading bourses have proposed to extend the timing of stock trading up to 7.30 pm to better align Indian markets with global trends and boost business, but several brokers are opposing the move citing logistics and employee-related issues, market sources say.
Currently, trading commences on the bourses at 9 am and closes at 3.30 pm, with 15 minutes each of pre-open and post-closing sessions.
There is also a proposal to align equity market timings with that of commodity derivatives which are traded till late evening hours though exact trade hours are different for different commodities.
Various proposals on the table include extending trade hours till 5 pm, 5.30 pm, and 7.30 pm.
