Trading was halted at 1836 India time (1306 GMT) on Monday and resumed an hour later, the MCX official said, declining to be named because he was not authorised to speak to media.

MCX is India`s biggest commodity exchange, and it is primarily a venue to trade gold, crude and copper futures contract, although trading of commodities in India is still only a small portion of financial markets.

The glitch comes nearly two months after National Stock Exchange, India`s biggest bourse, suffered a trading glitch that halted trading of shares for most of the session.
