Stay updated with the official list of market holidays observed by the Indian stock exchanges in 2026. These holidays impact trading, settlements, and clearing operations for equities, derivatives, and currency segments on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Ventura provides this calendar to help you plan your investments, trades, and settlements without surprises.
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.
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.
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.
