Indian Stock Market Holidays 2026 – NSE & BSE Holiday List

Document

India observes several public and religious holidays every year, many of which affect financial markets. During these holidays, the Indian stock market remains closed for trading across key segments.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) release an official list of trading holidays each year to help investors and traders plan their activities in advance.

Knowing the Indian stock market holidays for 2026 is important for managing trades, settlements, portfolio adjustments, and liquidity planning. The Indian share market follows a Monday to Friday trading schedule, while Saturdays and Sundays are weekly non-trading days.

This article provides the complete NSE and BSE holiday list for 2026, along with trading hours and important notes for investors.
