"At this point I don't think we should have any such apprehension," Ramesh Abhishek said, when asked by CNBC-TV18 about whether there were any concerns that the NSEL would default on any payments to customers.

"The NSEL is very confident that they will be able to honour their obligations for all the open contracts," Abhishek told the news channel.

Shares of NSEL owner Financial Technologies fell as much 45 percent on Friday after dropping nearly 65 percent on Thursday after the suspension of commodities trading at the exchange.
