Regulatory Changes

No regulatory changes are introduced by this notice. This is an operational drill mandated by BCP/DR readiness requirements.

  • April 17, 2026: Reference date for EOD files available on the DR SFTP server during the drill

Impact Assessment

Impact is minimal and limited to BISPL SFTP clients (index data consumers). Since the drill falls on a non-trading Saturday, there is no disruption to live market operations or trading activity. The exercise is a standard infrastructure resilience test. Clients who do not participate may face unpreparedness in an actual DR scenario but face no immediate operational consequences from non-participation on this date.

Impact Justification

This is a routine BCP/DR preparedness test affecting only BISPL SFTP clients. It occurs on a non-trading day with no new EOD files generated, so there is minimal market or trading impact.
