Financial Technologies also owns National Spot Exchange Ltd.
NSEL has been under investigation by police since last month after India’s commodities regulator ordered it to suspend trading over suspected violations of rules on contract duration.
The MCX board will meet on Tuesday to discuss the appointment of a new CEO, its spokesman said.
On October 18, 2013, Multi Commodity Exchange of India closed at Rs 510.35, down Rs 2.5, or 0.49 percent.
