Zerodha Users Face Morning Glitch in Kite App, Issue Resolved Later

Several Zerodha users were left frustrated on Wednesday morning, September 3, after the company’s popular trading app Kite ran into a technical glitch during the early trading hours. Many traders reported that the app was not showing live price updates and other important market data, making it difficult to track their trades in real time.

The complaints quickly flooded social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where users expressed their anger and disappointment. Some traders said they missed opportunities in the fast-moving market, while others joked about how trading is already stressful and technical glitches make it even worse.

Acknowledging the issue, Zerodha posted an update saying:

“Some of our users are facing issues with price updates on the app. We’re checking this. For now, please log in to Kite web on a mobile browser. Order placement is not affected. For the equity segment, you can also check 20 depth on the app.”

This meant that although prices were not refreshing properly on the mobile app, traders could still place buy and sell orders, and an alternative was available through the web version.

At 9:51 am, Zerodha confirmed that the issue had been fixed and things were back to normal.

While many users appreciated the quick resolution, several pointed out that such glitches during market hours can cause heavy losses to active traders. This isn’t the first time Zerodha has faced criticism for technical problems, and many on social media urged the platform to invest more in ensuring stability during trading hours.

For now, the situation seems to have calmed down, but the incident has once again highlighted how dependent India’s growing base of retail investors is on smooth and glitch-free trading apps.
