It’s Tuesday afternoon, February 3, 2026, and if your Kite terminal looks like a frozen artifact from 2010, you aren’t alone. On a day when the India-US trade deal just injected a massive 750-point Nifty surge and a 2,400-point Sensex jump, Zerodha’s servers seem to have decided to take a sick day.
The thing is, “Big Day, Big Glitch” is becoming a predictable pattern for India’s biggest broker. Or nothing.

Zerodha Down: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where retail traders are stuck watching a historic rally from the sidelines because they can’t hit “Buy” or “Sell.” Here’s the ground reality:
-
The 9:15 AM Freeze: Reports started flooding in the second the opening bell rang. Users are reporting “504 Gateway Timeouts” and network errors. The thing is, when the market gaps up 5%, every second counts. And then the frozen charts followed.
-
Portfolio “Zero” Horror: Several traders on X (formerly Twitter) are sharing screenshots of their holdings showing up as ₹0.00. Let’s be real—it’s just a display glitch, but on a day of high volatility, it’s enough to give anyone a heart attack. Those too.
-
The “India-US Trade Deal” Traffic: The surge is real. The deal, which cut reciprocal tariffs from 25% to 18%, has sent textile, IT, and auto stocks into orbit. The sudden volume likely overwhelmed the API.
-
“Podcasts kar lo bas”: The frustration is hitting a boiling point. Sarcastic comments about Zerodha’s founders focusing more on podcasts than server infrastructure are trending. And here’s the kicker—users on Reddit are reporting they can’t even close out their intraday positions, which could lead to massive “auto-square off” losses later today. Or nothing.

Trading Outage Tracker (Feb 3, 2026)
| Platform | Current Status | Major Issues Reported |
| Zerodha (Kite) | Down / Degraded | Login failure, Order rejection, Prices not updating. |
| Groww | Intermittent | Slow order execution, Chart lag. |
| Upstox | Stable | Minor delays in fund additions. |
| Dhan / Angel One | Stable | Working normally for most users. |
And Here’s the Kicker…
If you’re stuck, try the Kite Web (desktop) version. Often, the mobile API is the first to buckle under pressure, while the web portal remains somewhat functional. The thing is, if you’ve lost money due to the glitch, document everything—screenshots of the error and the time you tried to place the order. Those too.
One side comment—the Nifty 50 just hit an intraday high of 26,341. It’s a bit messy. Authentic, but a massive win for the economy that’s being marred by tech failures. It’s an ongoing situation. Or nothing.
