Is Zerodha down? Users flag glitches on app as markets rally after India-US trade deal

Zerodha app is reportedly down today, with multiple users flagging glitches amid a market rally following the India-US trade deal announcement.

At the time of writing, data on Downdetector showed more than 350 reports about the Zerodha outage, with 42% from the website, 32% from the mobile app, and another 26% about trading functionality.

As one user on social media platform X simply put: "@zerodha glitches."

What did users say? ‘Funds not showing up, who will be responsible?’

Another user on X posted to attract the company's attention to the downtime. “What's happening? Funds are not showing up after selling my holdings! Fix it ASAP [sic].”

Another user also asked Zerodha to respond to the various complaints and take responsibility for the glitch. 

CA Paras Kenia claimed this was a repeated issue with the app. “On a Big day you failed. Who shall be held responsible for this issues. Chart settings changed. Can't see positions correctly as prices are not updated. Can't take entry or exits. Zerodha I have noticed on all such big events or occasion this happens [sic],” Kenia wrote. 

One other user added, “Zerodha could not place sell order. Will we be compensated [sic]?” And one user complained: “what is Zerodha (doing?) because you lost almost 50k today due to your inability to maintain proper servers [sic].”

Another wrote a sarcastic comment, “Zerodha servers going down? Expected. Market opens with big gap up or gap down? Even more expected. Perfect timing as always [sic].”

At the time of writing, Zerodha had not addressed the outage through its official social media accounts.

Markets rally amid India-US trade deal

The Indian stock market opened in the green today, with the key benchmark indices — Nifty 50 touching an intraday high of 26,341, up 1,253 points within a few minutes of the Opening Bell. The BSE Sensex also opened up and touched an intraday high of 85,871, with an intraday gain of 4,205 points in the early morning session.

Within the first 15 minutes of trade, the rally translated into a wealth expansion of roughly ₹13 lakh crore for investors. The total market capitalisation of companies listed on the BSE vaulted to ₹468.32 lakh crore, reflecting the intensity and breadth of buying across sectors.

Experts noted that the gains came as the confirmation of the India-United States trade deal removed uncertainty for investors and sparked optimism. They also expect foreign institutional investors (FIIs) to make a return to the Indian stock market.

Notably, US President Donald Trump confirmed that reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods would be reduced from 50% to 18%, following prolonged negotiations.
