History

Historical Context

The 1992 Harshad Mehta fraud wiped roughly 40% of Indian market value and prompted SEBI to fine 12 brokerages INR500 crore and tighten trading halts. Those reforms made temporary shutdowns a regulatory tool, so on 14 September 2026 the NSE, BSE and MCX halted all equity and derivatives trading for Ganesh Chaturthi in India to protect market stability.
