What Are Share Market Holidays?

Share Market holidays are days when stock exchanges are closed for normal trading and settlement operations due to national, regional, or cultural observances. On these days:

  • No trading activity takes place

  • Clearing & settlement are suspended

  • Contracts & positions carry over to the next working day

Understanding these dates can help you avoid last-minute trade execution or settlement issues.

 

Why Holiday Information Matters

Knowing market holidays helps you:

  • Plan your trades in advance

  • Avoid unexpected lapse in orders

  • Schedule fund transfers appropriately

  • Manage derivatives positions and expiries

  • Synchronize with settlement cycles (T+1)

 

Ventura’s market holiday calendar ensures you never miss a key date.

 

Special Observance: Diwali Muhurat Trading

On Diwali (8 November 2026), the exchanges conduct a Muhurat Trading session — a short, symbolic market session considered auspicious by investors.

While the market may trade for a short window on this day, it is followed by holiday observances like Balipratipada on 10 November that affect settlement cycles. Ventura ensures you understand how these special days interact with settlement timelines.
