Karachi: Market participants in Karachi are set to experience a temporary halt in services of the Karachi Internet Trading System (KiTS) due to a scheduled maintenance activity. The interruption is slated for Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., impacting trading operations throughout the day.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has notified TREC holders and brokers, advising them to complete all Off-Hour Orders (OHO) and back-office synchronization, known as Balktalk, before the maintenance window begins. This precautionary measure aims to mitigate potential disruptions during the day-long suspension of KiTS services.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the scheduled maintenance forms part of routine efforts to enhance system reliability and performance. Market participants have been urged to plan accordingly to ensure a smooth transition and continuation of trading activities once the maintenance is concluded.

The temporary unavailability of KiTS, which facilitates internet-based stock trading, is not expected to have a long-term impact on the market. However, stakeholders are encouraged to remain vigilant and adhere to the recommended timelines to minimize any operational inconveniences during this period.
