NSE mock trading session on August 30: Key details
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is holding a mock trading session this Saturday, August 30, 2025.
It covers stocks, futures & options, currency, and commodities—all in a test environment where no actual fund pay-ins or payouts occur.
Brokers can use this chance to make sure their systems and backup plans are solid.
Schedule and software update
The drill kicks off with a pre-open at 9:00am then regular trading runs from 9:15am to 10:10am.
There's also a re-login window from 1:30pm to 2:00pm if anyone needs it.
No fresh software updates will roll out during the test, but everyone needs to upgrade to NEAT+ version 7.8.3 by September 6, 2025, before discontinuation of old Version 7.8.2.
Importance of mock trading session
