SEBI permits extended trading hours
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has allowed stock exchanges to extend the trade timing from 10-3.30 p.m to between 9 a.m and 5 p.m.
The move adds nearly 2-1/2 hours of trading if both the exchanges - BSE and NSE - extend the trade timing as per Sebi permission.
The immediate impact will be an increase in volume.... the average daily trading volume today is between Rs 80-85,000 crore.
The move is also expected to give traders/investors a better chance to react to global developments as well as corporate moves.
