Stock Market Holiday 2026: Is stock market closed on Tuesday? Check remaining holidays for the year

The BSE and NSE will remain shut on Tuesday, November 10, on account of Diwali-Balipratipada. Markets resumed regular trading on Monday after Sunday's special Muhurat Trading session, when exchanges opened for an hour to mark the beginning of the new Hindu financial year.

The Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the country's largest commodity exchange, will suspend trading during the morning session from 9 am to 5 pm on Tuesday. Trading will resume in the evening session from 5 pm to 11:30 pm, according to its website. The National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX), however, will remain closed throughout the day.

Muhurat Trading 2026: Markets end in the red

Indian equity markets held a special one-hour trading session on Sunday as investors began trading in Samvat 2083, the new Hindu financial year. However, the Sensex and Nifty gave up their initial gains to finish in negative territory. This marked the first time in nine years that both benchmark indices ended a Muhurat Trading session with losses.


The decline also brought their six-session winning streak to an end. In the previous week, the Sensex had rallied 6,569 points, while the Nifty climbed nearly 9%. The sharp recovery added close to Rs 29 lakh crore to the combined market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies in just one week, taking it past the Rs 500 lakh crore mark.

The last time the benchmark indices closed lower during Muhurat Trading was in 2017, when the Sensex declined 0.6%. Before that, both indices had recorded marginal losses in 2016. Over the past 10 special Diwali trading sessions, the benchmarks have ended in the red on only two occasions.

Following the November 10 holiday, the next scheduled closure for the BSE and NSE will be on November 24 for Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev. The exchanges will also remain shut on December 25 for Christmas.
