Zerodha app glitched amid a sharp rally in Indian markets on Tuesday, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a trade deal with India that cuts reciprocal tariffs on Indian imports to 18% from 25%.
The issue was flagged by several Zerodha users with Redbox Global India taking to X to highlight major losses faced by several users as they couldn’t complete their trades in time on the low-cost brokerage app.

Other users also described delays in trade execution, frozen positions, and outdated prices in the first trading hour, leading to losses. Similar outages hit Groww and Angel One, per Downdetector spikes.
A user Doozer Daily wrote, “Glitches on a ‘big day’ like this are unacceptable. When markets rally after a landmark India‑US trade deal, retail investors can’t afford their broker to freeze. Zerodha must invest in stronger infra—low‑cost brokerage shouldn’t mean high‑cost losses.”
Namra Patel wrote, “Zerodha & Groww both freezed between 9:15 & 9:20 today. I use these apps. Its a shame that investors & traders are left helpless. Many wouldn’t have booked positions as gap in 5 mins was massive from previous open. Total thugs deliberately looting through finding loopholes. [sic]”
Downdector showed that there was indeed a downtime on Zerodha at around 9:00 a.m, though the brokerage platform has not issued any statement in this regard yet.
