Holidays Falling on Weekends (No Additional Impact)

These dates fall on non-trading days (Saturday/Sunday), so they do not create extra closures:

  • 15-Feb-2026 (Sunday) — Mahashivratri
  • 21-Mar-2026 (Saturday) — Id-Ul-Fitr (Ramadan Eid)
  • 15-Aug-2026 (Saturday) — Independence Day
  • 08-Nov-2026 (Sunday) — Diwali Laxmi Pujan

Special Muhurat Trading Session

  • Date: 08-Nov-2026 (Sunday) — Diwali Laxmi Pujan
  • A special 1-hour Muhurat Trading session will be held (timings will be announced by NSE/BSE closer to the date, usually in the evening).
  • This is considered auspicious and allows symbolic trading.

Additional Information

  • Commodity derivatives and other segments may have slightly different rules on some dates — always check the official NSE/BSE website for the latest updates.
  • Markets are also closed on all Saturdays and Sundays.
  • The exchanges may rarely add or change a holiday with prior notice.
