The Reserve Bank on Monday announced phased restoration of trading hours for various debt as well as currency market from November 9 as the country has started graded roll-back of the lockdown.

From November 9, 2020, the trading hours have been extended by 90 minutes till 3.30 pm for most of the segments. In case of 'market repo in government securities' the timing from next week will be 10 am to 2.30 pm, and 'tri-party repo in government securities' 10 am to 3 pm.
