Market Holidays
NSE, BSE and MCX trading holidays for the current year — the next closure counted down, and which exchanges stay open on each date.
What the holiday calendar covers
Trading holidays for NSE, BSE and MCX for the current year as a month calendar, with the next closure counted down at the top and every date listed underneath. Indian exchanges do not all close together — the equity exchanges share a holiday list while MCX commodity derivatives often run an evening session on days the equity market is shut — so each date shows exactly which venues are closed and which stay open.

How to read it
- Next holiday — the nearest upcoming closure with its date, day and occasion, and how many days away it is.
- The calendar — one month at a time, moved with the arrows. A red day is a full closure, an amber day is partial — some exchanges trade, often MCX's evening session — and a blue day is a settlement holiday on the exchanges' list; today has a red outline. Click a marked day to see it in the panel at the top.
- Closed and open exchanges — per-date venue status by segment: NSE and BSE cash, NFO and BFO (their F&O), CDS and BCD (currency), MCX and NSCOM (commodities). An open segment shows its session hours, the detail that matters when NSE is shut but MCX's evening session still trades.
- All dates — the year's list under the calendar, filtered to All, Upcoming or Past, with each date's day, the occasion as published in the exchange circulars, the type and the closed and open exchanges.
- Weekends and special sessions — Saturdays and Sundays are closed by default and appear only when something happens on them — Diwali's Muhurat session, for example, is listed on its day with the exchanges that open for it. Its exact timing is announced by circular each year.
Frequently asked questions
For equities, almost always — the two exchanges publish matching holiday lists. The difference is MCX: commodity derivatives frequently trade an evening session on equity holidays, which is why this calendar shows per-exchange status instead of one closed/open flag.
The expiry moves to the previous trading day. If the usual weekly or monthly expiry date is a listed holiday, contracts expire one session earlier — worth checking before positioning in the expiry week.
Diwali (Laxmi Pujan) is listed as a holiday for the normal session, but the exchanges traditionally run a short special Muhurat session that evening. Its exact timing is announced by circular each year.
