If the move gets the push than one can see trading commence at 9 Amm and may continue till 5 PM and same will be an endeavour to align the mkt timings with other financial markets like currency, bonds and call money may boost volumes in stocks and equity derivatives.
An important observation is that if the local market opens at 9 AM, it may drive a slice of the trading volume from Singapore, where the Nifty futures are traded, to India. Since operators shorting a stock often use the shallower Singapore market to drag down the scrip in India, an early opening will lower the scope of such manipulations.
Presently BSE and NSE operate wef 9:55 AM- 3:30 PM.
