Diwali is celebrated in India this year on October 20, 2025 (Monday), but there will be no holiday in the stock market on this day. That is, normal trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will continue from 09:00 AM to 03:30 PM. Why will there be no holiday on Diwali? Actually the holiday dates of NSE and BSE are decided differently. For this reason, the stock market will remain closed on October 21 and 22 (Tuesday and Wednesday). These days are celebrated as Lakshmi Puja and Balipratipada, for which there will be a holiday in the markets. Muhurat Trading: A Special Trading Session On the day of Diwali, a special trading session is organized called Muhurat Trading. This session lasts for one hour and is celebrated as the beginning of Samvat 2082. However, the purpose of this session is to wish prosperity and prosperity for the investors and not to make profit. On this day, investors traditionally start new investments, and the BSE and NSE open their terminals, even though the markets are closed for the rest of the day. Tips for Investors During muhurat trading, market liquidity can be low, and spreads can be wide, making it unsuitable for large speculative trades. Moreover, market volatility may increase after and before Diwali, so investors are advised to take decisions cautiously. Share this story Tags
