Summary

NSE Clearing Limited (NCL) has notified all members of the Commodity Derivatives Segment that it will be conducting operations from its Disaster Recovery (DR) Site on March 05, 2026 and March 06, 2026. Members using Connect2NSE (C2N) connectivity do not need to change any configuration settings.

Key Points

  • Members accessing N-MASS and NCMS via internet or leased line connections are not required to change any configuration settings or connection parameters.
  • N-MASS and NCMS applications will be unavailable for live operations and updates from 01:00 hrs to 08:00 hrs on March 07, 2026.

Regulatory Changes

No regulatory changes. This is an operational notice related to a scheduled DR site exercise.

Compliance Requirements

  • Members must note the downtime window (01:00–08:00 hrs, March 07, 2026) and plan their operations accordingly.
  • No configuration changes are needed for C2N connectivity during the DR site operations.
  • Members should ensure awareness of the maintenance window to avoid scheduling any critical operations or updates during the unavailability period.

Important Dates

  • March 05, 2026: DR Site operations begin for Commodity Derivatives Segment.

  • March 07, 2026, 01:00–08:00 hrs: N-MASS and NCMS unavailable for live operations and updates.

Impact Assessment

The impact is moderate and temporary. Members of the Commodity Derivatives Segment who rely on N-MASS and NCMS applications must plan around the 7-hour maintenance window on March 07. No reconfiguration is required for C2N connectivity, minimizing operational disruption during the DR period. Members should avoid scheduling critical updates or operations during the blackout window (01:00–08:00 hrs on March 07, 2026).

Impact Justification

Operational notice affecting Commodity Derivatives Segment members during DR site operations. No configuration changes required, but a scheduled downtime window on March 07 affects N-MASS and NCMS availability.
