Stock market holidays 2026: NSE, BSE & MCX

NSE and BSE have 16 weekday trading holidays in 2026. Another 4 holidays fall on a Saturday or Sunday, when the market is closed anyway.

NSE and BSE are closed on Tuesday, 10 November 2026 for Diwali-Balipratipada; MCX keeps its evening session open that day. On Sunday, 8 November 2026 a special Muhurat trading session is held. NSE & BSE equity: 2:20 pm – 3:30 pm.

It's a day when the clearing corporation doesn't settle money or shares, usually because banks are closed. The market can still be open for trading — that day's pay-in and pay-out move to the next working day. In 2026, trading is open but settlement is closed on 19 Feb, 19 Mar, 1 Apr and 26 Aug.

Usually only partly. On most exchange holidays MCX closes its morning session (9 am–5 pm) and keeps the evening session (5 pm–11:30/11:55 pm) open. In 2026 MCX is closed all day on Republic Day, Good Friday, Gandhi Jayanti and Christmas, and only its evening session is closed on New Year's Day.
