How can I trade in currency futures at night (or beyond NSE trading hours)?

This question is not about Zerodha or NSE. I am aware that they follow trading schedule with known trading hours and holidays etc.

As a retail trader interested in currency futures, how can I trade even after NSE trading sessions? Forex is a 24x7 market and interesting moves happen overnight and on weekends. How can I make use of them? Can we register on international exchanges and trade there? What’s the Government of India policy about that?

I suspect that it might not be possible to trade on currency pairs involving INR but still, we can perhaps trade on EUR/USD or EUR/GBP etc.

RBI completely bans the Indian Resident Retail Investor trading in ANY Foreign exchange Pairs directly.

As per rules you cannot convert INR into foreign currency and trade in forex with foreign currency pair . That is illegal. But nse does allow you to trade in currency pairs such as USD/INR GBP/INR etc. As of now you cannot trade in foreign exchanges from India or after converting INR to foreign currency.
