Description

Summary

NSE Clearing Limited will be running its Currency Derivatives Segment operations from its Disaster Recovery (DR) Site on March 05, 2026 and March 06, 2026. Members accessing N-MASS and NCMS applications via internet or leased line connections do not need to change any configuration or connection parameters. A scheduled downtime for N-MASS and NCMS applications is planned on March 07, 2026.

Key Points

  • NSE Clearing Ltd will operate the Currency Derivatives Segment from the DR Site on March 05-06, 2026.
  • Members using Connect2NSE (C2N) via internet or leased line do not need to modify any configuration settings or connection parameters.
  • N-MASS and NCMS applications will be unavailable for live operations or updates from 01:00 hrs to 08:00 hrs on March 07, 2026.

Regulatory Changes

No regulatory changes. This is an operational/infrastructure notice for a planned DR site activation.

Compliance Requirements

  • Members must take note of the DR site activation for March 05-06, 2026.
  • Members should plan operations to avoid reliance on N-MASS and NCMS between 01:00 hrs and 08:00 hrs on March 07, 2026.
  • No changes to connectivity configuration are required.

Important Dates

  • March 05-06, 2026: NSE Clearing Ltd Currency Derivatives Segment operations run from DR Site.
  • March 07, 2026, 01:00 hrs to 08:00 hrs: N-MASS and NCMS applications unavailable for live operations or updates.

Impact Assessment

Members of the Currency Derivatives Segment will experience a brief period of unavailability for N-MASS and NCMS applications on the morning of March 07, 2026 (01:00–08:00 hrs). During March 05-06, connectivity through existing modes (internet or leased line) will continue to work without any changes. The overall market impact is limited given the short maintenance window and the absence of any required member-side reconfiguration.

Impact Justification

Operational notice affecting Currency Derivatives Segment members for a short DR drill period; no configuration changes required but application downtime on March 07 warrants attention.
