BSE to Conduct Major Mock Trading Drill on December 6 Ahead of New Market Framework Rollout

December 5, 2025: Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will conduct a mock trading session on December 6, 2025, across the Equity, Equity Derivatives, Commodity Derivatives, and Currency Derivatives segments. The exercise is aimed at verifying system readiness and ensuring smooth operations ahead of upcoming regulatory and structural changes. Designed to closely mirror real market conditions, the mock session will allow trading members to test the stability, efficiency, and overall performance of their trading applications.

Reasons Behind the Simulated Trading Game

The mock sessions are intended to help trading members evaluate their systems under simulated conditions, including scenarios like trade halts and risk-reduction modes. Participants using third-party platforms or in-house systems connected through IML and ETI APIs are expected to take part. The initiative also aligns with SEBI’s directive issued on November 24, 2020, which mandates comprehensive testing of all trading and risk-management applications.

Times and Arrangements of the Mock Sessions

The mock trading schedule will follow a structured format, with defined login and trading windows for each segment. Members in the Equity Derivatives segment can log in between 8:15 AM and 9:00 AM, followed by a Pre-Open session until 9:15 AM and regular trading up to 3:30 PM. Trading in the Commodity and Currency Derivatives segments will run from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The organised framework is designed to give participants adequate time to test order placement, risk assessment processes, and trade execution workflows.

Feedback Submission and Support

BSE has asked all the participants to provide feedback before 4:30 PM on the same day, which would assist and refreeze the system performance. Tech Support and Help Desk teams of the exchange will be on-call during the session so that they can be contacted through phone and email to address any technical questions and provide a smooth participation.

This simulated trading project shows that BSE is committed to operational preparedness, and it makes it clear that it is concerned about having resilient and reliable market infrastructure.
