Its average daily turnover in commodity futures, including index futures, rose 4 percent to Rs 32,181 crore, against Rs 30,854 crore a year ago.

The group's operations, revenue and profit during the current quarter were not materially impacted due to COVID-19 as some essential services, including commodity markets, were allowed to operate and were exempted from the lockdown. However, from March 30 to April 22, 2020, the commodity market hours were restricted between 9 am and 5 pm and normal market hours were restored from April 23, 2020, that is from 9 am to 11.30 pm, it added.
