Stock Market Holidays 2026

If you invest in the stock market, trade, or invest in stocks, this news may prove useful. It’s crucial for stock market investors to know when the markets will be closed in 2026. The Indian stock markets, NSE and BSE, are closed on many national festivals, religious events, and government holidays. Furthermore, Saturdays and Sundays are already non-trading days. Therefore, if you plan your investments in advance, the Share Market Holiday List can be very useful. Several major festivals in 2026 fall on weekdays, meaning the markets will be completely closed on those days, and no buying or selling will be possible.

On which days is the stock market closed?

The year begins with a major holiday. The stock market will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026, on the occasion of Republic Day. This holiday is fixed every year, so investors will not be able to trade on this day. Following this, February 15th is the festival of Mahashivratri, which falls on a Sunday, so the market will naturally be closed.

However, the month of March is a busy one for traders, as it is marked by several important holidays. The NSE and BSE will be closed on Tuesday, March 3rd, due to Holi. Ramadan Eid (Id-ul-Fitr) falls on Saturday, March 21st, so the market will also be closed. Friday, March 27th, is declared a holiday for Ram Navami, and a few days later, on Tuesday, March 31st, trading will also be closed for the entire day due to Mahavir Jayanti.

Which days are holidays in April?

The month of April also brings two major holidays. The market will be closed on Good Friday on April 3rd, 2026, while trading will also be suspended on Tuesday, April 14th, on the occasion of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti. In May, May 1st, Maharashtra Day, is marked as a Friday holiday. Furthermore, Bakrid (Eid al-Adha) falls on Wednesday, May 27th, which will also keep the market closed on that day. In June, trading will also be suspended on Friday, June 26th, on account of Muharram.

In August, Independence Day falls on August 15th, which falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the market will be closed as usual on a normal weekend. Following this, the market will be closed on Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday, September 14th. In October, Friday, October 2nd is a holiday for Gandhi Jayanti, and the market will also be completely closed on Tuesday, October 20th, due to Dussehra.

Diwali is the most important day for the market this month and in November. Normal trading will not take place on Sunday, November 8th, 2026, on account of Lakshmi Puja, but Muhurat trading is possible in the evening, a traditional practice in Indian markets. Immediately following this, the market will be closed for the entire day on Balipratipada, Monday, November 9, 2026. This will be followed by a holiday on Tuesday, November 24, for Guru Nanak Jayanti. The final holiday of the year will be Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2026, when the stock market will be completely closed.
