Stock Market Holiday For Diwali 2025: With the week-long Diwali festivities kicking off with Dhanteras on October 18, traders and investors are eager to know the upcoming stock market holidays, including the NSE and BSE closure schedule. It helps them to be prepared for these market closures, while enjoying the festivals with their families and closed ones.
The Diwali festival has kicked off on October 18 (Saturday) with Dhanteras, the arrival of Lakshmi, the goddesses of wealth.
The major question is now: are BSE and NSE open or closed tomorrow, October 20, on the occasion of Diwali?
Are Stock Market Closed Tomorrow, October 20?
According to BSE and NSE holiday calendar, the stock market will resume as usual on Monday, October 20, 2025.
When Is The Holiday For Diwali?
The official holiday for stock market is on Tuesday, October 21. Indian equity exchanges will remain closed on October 21, 2025 on account of major Hindu festival Diwali Laxmi Pujan. It means traders and investors won’t be able to trade equities, derivatives and other futures and options. However, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will organize a special one-hour trading session for traders and investors on October 21, like every year known as ‘Muhurat Trading’.
Apart from October 21, 2025 (Tuesday) for Diwali Laxmi Pujan, stock exchanges will be closed the very next day on October 22, 2025 (Wednesday) for Balipratipada, as per exchanges’ holidays list.
Muhurat Trading Session 2025 Date And Time
The symbolic trading session will be held between 1:45 pm and 2:45 pm on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the stock exchanges said in separate circulars. Last year, the special Muhurat trading session was held from 6 pm to 7 pm.
The new session also ushers in Vikram Samvat 2082, the Hindu New Year that begins on Diwali. Traditionally, trading during the ‘Muhurat’ session — the auspicious hour — is believed to bring prosperity and financial growth to investors.
While the markets will remain closed for regular trading on Diwali, a special one-hour trading window will be open. According to the exchange, the pre-opening session is scheduled from 1:30 pm to 1:45 pm.
Upcoming Share Market Holidays 2025
Then, the next stock market holiday will arrive on November 05 on the occasion of Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev. While the last stock market holiday of 2025 will be seen on December 25, 2025 for Christmas.
Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) Holidays
Multi Commodity Exchange has also announced holidays October 21 and October 22 for Diwali Laxmi Pujan and Balipratipada. While MCX will be closed completely throughout the day on October 21, the commodity exchange will open for the evening session on October 22.
It will also conduct Muhurat trading on October 21, 2025, whose timing will be intimated.
