Sources say Anil Mishra is likely to be the front-runner for the post. The interview was conducted after Shreekant Javalgekar resigned as MD and CEO in October after the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) ordered the exchange to appoint a new MD within a month.

While Satyanand Mishra was appointed as MCX chairman, the selection will be important since FTIL promoter has already been declared as not fit and proper. Apart from this, the board is also expected to consider FTIL and MCX stake dilution in MCX SX, as per Sebi order.
