Groww users across India reported login failures, slow loading, and transaction errors on Thursday after a major global outage at Cloudflare disrupted multiple apps and websites worldwide — including trading platforms.

What happened?

Groww confirmed that the issue was not internal but caused by Cloudflare, a leading global internet infrastructure provider that powers routing, security, and traffic optimisation for thousands of companies.

Groww’s official statement:

Cloudflare’s outage spiked sharply according to Downdetector, affecting not just Groww but also:

Why did Groww stop working?

Cloudflare sits between users and servers. When Cloudflare systems go down, anything dependent on it becomes temporarily unreachable.
This results in:

• 
  

  Login failures

  
  


• 
  

  App not loading

  
  


• 
  

  Portfolio not refreshing

  
  


• 
  

  Order placement delays

  
  


• 
  

  Charting issues

  
  

Is Groww working now?

Yes. Groww later confirmed that services have returned to normal.

Groww’s update:

Users should now be able to log in, view portfolios, and execute trades normally.

Was your money affected?

No. Outages like this do not impact user funds, holdings, or account safety. The issue was strictly to connectivity and traffic routing.

Bottom line

Groww was down temporarily due to a global Cloudflare infrastructure outagenot a platform-specific failure.
