Press Trust of India  |  New Delhi 

Regulator Sebi will hold a meeting with officials of stock exchanges next week to discuss various issues, including instances of technical glitches in trading platforms.

The exchanges are expected to apprise the (Sebi) about the various developments related to the capital markets, they said.

Besides, the regulator may take up the committee report on norms related to Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs).

According to the officials, the issues of recent technical problem with MCX's trading system and "disruption" in NSE's NOW, are expected to be discussed.

The regulator has already begun an initial probe into last week's technical glitches suffered by the two exchanges. It would look into whether adequate safeguard mechanism was in place to avoid such situations, senior officials said.

In July last year, trading was halted for over three hours at (NSE) due to technical glitch, leaving investors with no real time updates. Again on May 24, the exchange saw a "disruption" in its NOW, which allows traders to use their own software and hardware for trading on the bourse.

Besides, (MCX) had experienced a trading halt in September last year and again trading was stopped on May 25 on its platform due to a technical glitch.
