Why India's biggest stock exchange had to shut
On a day when the markets hit a record high, there was a spanner in the works, in the form of a technical glitch that hit NSE or the National Stock Exchange through morning trade. However, at 12:30 pm, trade finally resumed after being shut for almost the entire morning session. NSE tried unsuccessfully to re-open trading around 11 am, but failed to fix the "technical" issues.
