Why is there a difference between the LTP and closing price on exchange?

The difference exists because the Last Traded Price (LTP) represents the actual last traded price, while the exchange calculates the closing price as a weighted average of the last 30 minutes of trading. As a result, the closing price on daily charts also does not match the LTP since the exchange updates it using the Exchange's Bhavcopy's closing price.
