Stock exchanges BSE and NSE will remain closed on Tuesday (November 10) on account of Diwali-Balipratipada after the market was open for an hour on Sunday for the special Muhurat Trading session.

India's largest commodity exchange, the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), will remain closed for the first session (9 am to 5 pm) on Tuesday. Trading will resume in the evening session between 5 pm and 11:30 pm, as per its website.

Muhurat Trading 2026

The market was open for around an hour on Sunday for the Muhurat Trading session when investors made their first trades in the new Hindu financial year or Samvat 2083. During the session, Sensex and Nifty erased all early gains and closed in the red, marking the first time the benchmark indices ended with losses during the special Diwali session in 9 years.


Sensex and Nifty have also snapped a six-day gaining streak. Last week alone, Sensex surged a whopping 6,569 points while Nifty skyrocketed nearly 9%. The rally has added nearly Rs 29 lakh crore to the total market capitalisation of all companies listed on BSE in just one week, pushing it above the Rs 500 lakh crore mark.

The benchmark indices last closed in the red following the Muhurat Trading session in 2017, when Sensex dropped 0.6%. Before that, Sensex and Nifty closed in the red with marginal losses in 2016. Overall, the benchmark indices have closed in the red only two out of the past 10 times during the special Muhurat Trading session.

Market holidays 2026

The Indian stock market will be closed on November 10 on Diwali-Balipratipada. It marks the fourth day of Diwali, and is celebrated in some parts of the country in honour of the notional return of the daitya-king Bali to earth. From this day onwards, the lunar fortnight begins. The legend says that Bali, or Mahabali, the benevolent king of the Asuras, was threatening the heavens, and so Lord Vishnu, in the avatar of Vamana, sent him to Patala, or the netherworld. But the Lord was pleased with the devotion of Bali, so he allowed him to visit his former subjects once a year. This day is observed as Bali Pratipada.

In total, 16 stock market holidays were scheduled for 2026, of which 13 have already passed. April saw two holidays, including April 3 (Good Friday) and April 14 (Dr B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti). Markets were also closed on May 1 on account of Maharashtra Day and May 28 for Bakri Id. The BSE and NSE were then shut on June 26 for Muharram and September 14 for Ganesh Chaturthi. Last month, the stock market was closed on October 2 for Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti and October 20 for Dussehra.
