Upgrading to a TM-CM on MCX is a key milestone in that journey, one that eliminates clearing costs and enables faster, and secure settlements. It is yet another example of how we’re investing in technology and tech-related solutions to deliver a simplified, intuitive and frictionless user experience.”
There will be no impact on users during this transition. All open positions, holdings, deposits, and trading access will remain unchanged. This upgrade underscores Shoonya’s vision of delivering a modern investment experience where efficiency, transparency, and long-term value come standard.
