The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India has released its much-anticipated trading holiday calendar for 2025, providing clarity to investors and traders on the non-trading days for the coming year.
The list outlines 14 holidays during which the stock markets will remain closed across all segments, including equity, derivatives, and currency.
The first trading holiday is set for February 26, 2025 (Wednesday), on the occasion of Mahashivratri, followed by March 17, 2025 (Monday), for Holi, another significant festival celebrated nationwide.
Other important holidays include Good Friday on April 18, 2025 (Friday), Independence Day on August 15, 2025 (Friday), and Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, 2025 (Thursday).
A key highlight of the calendar is the Diwali Muhurat Trading Session, scheduled for Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
This session is a tradition in Indian markets and marks an auspicious time for investors to conduct symbolic trades as a gesture of prosperity and good fortune. Specific timings for the Muhurat trading will be announced closer to the date.
With the release of the holiday schedule, market participants are encouraged to align their trading strategies and financial plans to accommodate these non-working days. The full list of holidays includes a mix of religious and national observances, ensuring a break for traders and investors to celebrate significant events.
The holiday calendar applies uniformly across all NSE trading segments. It is worth noting that some holidays may fall on weekends, minimizing disruption to weekly trading activity.
