Stock Market Holiday 2025: Are NSE, BSE open or closed on August 27 for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025? Check now

India’s equity and commodity markets will remain closed on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, in observance of Ganesh Chaturthi. The mid-week closure marks the second trading holiday of the month after markets were shut on August 15 for the country’s 79th Independence Day.

Trading across the BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will be halted for the day. This includes all segments, equities, equity derivatives, and the securities lending and borrowing (SLB) framework. With trading suspended, activity will resume on Thursday, August 28.

Commodity markets will also operate on a limited schedule for the festival. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), which trades bullion, energy and base metals, will remain shut during the morning session but reopen for evening trade. Meanwhile, the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), India’s largest platform for agricultural contracts such as oilseeds, pulses and spices, will remain closed for the entire day.


Such mid-week pause closures can sometimes add to volatility once markets reopen, as investors adjust positions and factor in global developments that occurred during the downtime. Market participants will also be watching international cues closely, particularly movements in U.S. equities, crude oil and global commodity prices, which often influence trading sentiment when domestic exchanges resume.

NSE holidays 2025 list

There are no scheduled stock market holidays in September beyond the usual weekend breaks. The remaining holidays in 2025 are:

• October 2, 2025 – Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti
  
• October 21, 2025 – Diwali (Laxmi Pujan, with Muhurat trading)
  
  
• October 22, 2025 – Diwali (Bali Pratipada)
  
  
• November 5, 2025 – Guru Nanak Jayanti
  
  
• December 25, 2025 – Christmas
  

While Indian equity markets observe around 13–15 holidays each year, the actual impact often depends on whether the closure creates a long weekend or overlaps with global market activity. The Ganesh Chaturthi holiday is one such instance, offering domestic investors a brief pause before trading resumes later in the week.
