Will an early opening for the stock markets help the cause for the investors?

I have been working in the stock exchange for the last 7 years and early extension of 55 minutes is unwarranted. I have obseved that maximum trades are done during the first 2 hours and last 2 hours  of trade. It hardly make an iota of difference if one opens early or 9.55. Actually the exchanges are meant to b facilitator in trading and not getting involved with volumes in the exchanges. The early extension of trading  is done practically to drive the small investors andsmall brokers. The FIIs, mutual funds must have pressurised the stock exchanges for a earlier opening so that investors will put their money in mutual funds. I have made a report on todays trading pattern on nifty futures and I found that there was only 5.11 lacs volume at 9 to 9.30, next the volume was 14.50 lacs between 9.30 to 10 a.m. Maximum volume was done in the last 2 hours of trade

To look at it at this stage i would say, the move is no doubt a good thought but not the right time to get into. This move will not only change the timing to trading but it will effect the entire financial system of the economy directly or indirectly, like the banks will have to change their operating timing, brokers will have to login early and off course the infrastructure problem and many such... i feel the thought is really good to reduce the volatility and stock manipulation to much extent but also feel this would really require some more  time for the financial environment to digest this and get ready to face and go along .... Thank you, Manish N

I don't think it will work at the moment as the infrastructure is adequate at the moment and also we lack better banking channels, there will be undue stress on manpower and higher transaction costs.  There should not be any hurry in extending market timings, as putting load on the system with a weak infrastructure will not be in the interests of any parties concerned and investors may lose out in the short run.
