SEBI imposed a penalty of Rs 25 lakh on MCX for failing to disclose material information related to a software contract with 63 Moons Technologies Ltd.
MCX admitted the disclosure lapse as an inadvertent mistake, leading to the imposition of the monetary penalty by SEBI.
SEBI found a charge related to a misleading disclosure in a press release issued by MCX, but dropped the allegation after verifying the explanation provided by MCX.
Another charge was related to incorrect disclosures about the timeline for shifting to a new trading platform developed by Tata Consultancy Services, which SEBI deemed not to be a regulatory lapse.
