We show that DX-like centers in Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{x}:In crystal can be used in writing volume holographic gratings. The scattering efficiency is higher than 10% which proves the dispersive character of the light-induced gratings. Two different metastable centers with different lattice relaxation were found in the crystal. Measurements of the power dependence of the degenerate four-wave mixing scattering efficiency testify that both of these centers have negative U properties.
