Share Market Holiday: NSE, BSE To Remain Closed For Six More Day In 2025

Trading Holidays 2025: Trading activity on D-Street will not take place on May 1, 2025, as both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain closed on the occasion of Maharashtra Day. Notably trading activity will remain closed for six more days in 2025.

Here’s a list of all the stock market holidays in 2025:

Independence Day – August 15, 2025

Ganesh Chaturthi – August 27

Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti / Dussehra- October 2

Diwali - October 21

Diwali Balipratipada - October 22

Guru Nanak Jayanti (Prakash Gurpurb) - November 5

Christmas - December 25

Investors should note that while regular trading will not take place on Diwali, a special Muhurat Trading session will be held on October 21 in the evening. Notably there will not be any trading holidays in the months of June and July.

Why Market Is Closed Today

Maharashtra officially came into being as a state on May 1, 1960 following the division of the erstwhile Bombay State. Maharashtra observes May 1 as a public holiday as a result of which both the BSE and the NSE observe official holidays. The day is celebrated with parades and cultural events across the state.

Which Segments Will Remain Closed

No trading activity will take place across segments, such as equity trading, equity derivatives trading, Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB), and currency derivatives on May 1.

Which Segments Will Remain Open

Trading activity on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) in the commodity derivatives and electronic gold receipts (EGR) segments will only remain closed in the morning session and will continue in the evening session.

Notably, trading activity on the MCX takes place in two sessions: a morning session from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and an evening session from 5:00 PM to 11:30/11:55 PM. Several listed companies, such as Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Eternal and Home First Finance will also announce their earnings for the quarter and fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.

With D-Street being closed on May 1, the current trading week will be a truncated one for investors. A stock market holiday provides investors a chance to re-evaluate their strategies and mitigate any other disruptions.

Notably, regular trading activity will begin again from May 2. Earlier on April 30, the Nifty 50 index closed flat with a negative bias down by 1.75 points or 0.01 per cent to 24,334.2. On the other hand, the 30-share Sensex declined by 46.14 points or 0.06 per cent to close at 80,242.24.
