MCX said it will go live with new Commodity Derivatives Platform (CDP) with effect from Monday, 16 October 2023. To allow members to participate and validate setup and connection, a mock trading session will be conducted on 15 October 2023.
SEBI previously instructed MCX to postpone the platform launch for discussions with the SEBI Technical Advisory Committee. MCX and MCXCCL were instructed to provide comprehensive feedback on the issues raised by Chennai Financial Markets and Accountability concerning the platform. SEBI later permitted MCX to proceed with the go-live of the platform.
