How long MCX contracts can be held

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

MCX commodity contracts are dated monthly series listed on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India, a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange, and each one can be held only until its own last trading day, not indefinitely. A trader who wants exposure beyond a single contract’s life does not hold one contract longer; they roll, squaring off the expiring near-month contract and opening a far-month one. On Zerodha Kite , once the commodity segment is active, every MCX contract a trader can buy carries an expiry date built into its symbol.
