Stock Market Holidays 2026: NSE & BSE Holiday List

Last checked 13 November 2026 against NSE's official list

Is the stock market open today? Today is Friday, 13 November 2026 (IST). NSE and BSE are scheduled to trade.

Reason: a weekday that is not on NSE's holiday list. The regular equity session runs 9:15 am to 3:30 pm IST. This line is computed from the list below, not from a live exchange feed, so an unannounced closure would not show here.

This is NSE's trading-holiday list for 2026, with 20 dates. 16 fall on a weekday, which are the days you would otherwise have traded. The other 4 fall on a Saturday or Sunday, so they cost no extra trading day.

Things people ask about market holidays

Are NSE and BSE closed on the same days? For equities, the two exchanges announce their holidays together and the dates match. Other segments, such as currency derivatives or commodities, can have different rules, so check the segment you trade on the exchange's own page.

Are the markets open on Saturday and Sunday? No. The regular equity market is closed every Saturday and Sunday. The exchanges occasionally hold a special session on a weekend and announce it by circular.

What happens to results and IPO dates on a holiday? Companies can still announce results on a day the market is shut, and IPO calendars skip closed days. See what is reporting on quarterly results today and the open and upcoming issues on the IPO dashboard.

Will the list change during the year? It can. The exchanges add a holiday at short notice, as with the Maharashtra municipal election closure on 15 January 2026. We update this page when NSE does.
