NSE International Exchange said on Tuesday it had extended trading to ​near round-the-clock hours to broaden access for overseas ‌investors.

Here are the details:

* The exchange operator ​said the longer session took ⁠effect on November 2 and extended total market operations to 23 hours and 30 minutes, with trading ‌running from 3:15 a.m. IST to 2:45 a.m. the following day, giving ‌participants access across Asian, European and US ‌market ⁠hours.

* "By enabling market access across all ⁠time zones, we are providing participants with greater flexibility and strengthening GIFT City's connectivity with global financial markets," said V. ​Balasubramaniam, MD and ‌CEO of NSE International Exchange.

* NSE International Exchange, set up in 2017 in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) and regulated by ‌the International Financial Services Centres Authority, offers products ​including stock, index and currency derivatives, depository receipts and global stocks.

* The move ⁠is part of a wider push to position GIFT City as India's international finance ‌hub.

* The longer session also depends on technology designed to keep downtime brief.

* NSE International Exchange said its systems can complete maintenance within 3 minutes between sessions and in less than 15 minutes at the end ‌of the day.

* The exchange also said it ​would keep expanding international access and market infrastructure as it adapts to demand from ⁠global participants.

* The move comes over a ⁠month after the market debut of the National Stock Exchange of India, ending ‌a decade-long effort to list and becoming one of the world's 10 most ​valuable publicly traded bourses.
