NSE Holidays

You can also check BSE holidays and MCX holidays for market closure dates and trading schedules across segments.

Why Knowing the NSE Holiday List Matters

The NSE holiday list marks the trading days when the exchange remains closed. NSE periodically publishes this calendar annually to assist market participants in preparing against downtime in equity, derivatives and currency markets. Knowing NSE India holidays is not merely about avoiding cases of making mixed-ups but it is also a strategic move in the financial planning.

Having the NSE trading holidays, you can trade at a better time, you can avoid the possibility of multiple settlement delays, and you can avoid the low liquidity times, which are quite common just before long weekends. It is also important to portfolio managers and high-frequency traders who depend on the accuracy of timing.

Special Highlight – Muhurat Trading Session

The Muhurat Trading session, which happens every year on Diwali, is a sign of wealth and new beginnings. On this special NSE holiday, trading happens for an hour in the evening, which is different from regular holidays. Traders make symbolic, auspicious trades as Nifty and Sensex reflect festive optimism, blending cultural tradition with financial participation.

Where to Find the Official NSE Holiday List

The most accurate NSE holiday list 2026 is always available on the official NSE India website under the “Market Timings & Holidays” section. The site also states segment-specific closures such as commodity and debt market closures.
