Stock market holiday on Tuesday, April 14: Are NSE & BSE closed for Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti? Check now

Domestic stock exchanges NSE and BSE will be shut for trading on Tuesday, April 14, due to the Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti holiday. The country’s largest non-agricultural commodity exchange, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) will be closed in the morning session but will resume trading in the evening session between 5 pm and 11:30 pm.

Meanwhile, the largest agricultural bourse the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will also be closed in both sessions. Trading will resume on Wednesday, April 15.

2026 holiday list

The next market holiday will fall on May 1 for Maharashtra Day and then on May 28 on account of Bakri Eid.


The second half of the year includes Muharram on June 26, Ganesh Chaturthi on September 14 and Gandhi Jayanti on October 2. Dussehra falls on October 20, followed by Diwali Balipratipada on November 10 and Guru Nanak Jayanti on November 24. The final trading holiday of the year will be Christmas on December 25.

The small surprise in the circular is that there is no mention of holiday for Diwali as it is falling on a weekend (Sunday). The Muhurat Trading will be conducted on Sunday, November 08, 2026 and the timings of Muhurat Trading will be notified subsequently.

The exchanges may alter any of the above holidays, for which a separate circular shall be issued in advance.

In the holiday calendar released last year, the exchanges initially announced 15 trading holidays but later added January 15 as an additional holiday due to the Mumbai BMC elections. After this, the domestic markets were closed on January 26 for Republic Day.

Indian markets observed holidays on three occasions in March: Holi (March 3) followed by Shri Ram Navami (March 26) and Shri Mahavir Jayanti (March 31).
