The RBI on April 7, 2020, had previously amended the trading hours for the markets because of the elevated levels of health risks posed by COVID-19 and in view of the operational dislocations. The RBI said, “With the graded roll-back of the lockdown and easing of restrictions on movement of people and functioning of offices, it has been decided to restore trading hours for regulated markets in a phased manner.”
