A technical glitch at the National Stock Exchange halted trading for a couple of hours. NSE has multiple telecom links with two service providers to ensure redundancy. Both the telecom service providers communicated today that there are issues with their links which will have an impact on NSE's system.

As a result, all the segments had been closed at 11:40, and will reopen for extended trading from 3.45pm to 5pm. Amidst the confusion among the investors and traders, NSE took to their Twitter handle to announce the issue and have stated that they are working on restoring the systems as soon as possible.
