Impact Assessment

Operational Impact: Minimal to none for market participants. While ICCL is operating from its DR site, members and custodians will not experience any changes in system access or operational procedures.

Market Impact: Low. This appears to be a planned DR exercise or maintenance activity. All clearing and settlement operations across equity, derivatives, currency, commodity, debt, and EGR segments will continue normally from the alternate site.

Business Continuity: Demonstrates ICCL’s business continuity preparedness and ability to seamlessly operate from backup infrastructure without disrupting market operations.

Impact Justification

Operational shift to DR site for 5 days affects all segments but with no changes to member access, indicating routine DR exercise with minimal disruption
