Indian stock exchanges, including the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), will remain closed on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, on account of Ambedkar Jayanti. The closure comes as part of the official trading holiday calendar, resulting in another shortened trading week for investors.

The holiday follows a week in which markets were already shut for two sessions due to Good Friday and Mahavir Jayanti. With multiple non-trading days clustered together, market activity has been intermittently impacted in April. Bank Holiday for Ambedkar Jayanti 2026: Will Banks Remain Open on April 14?

Market Holiday Calendar for 2026

A total of 16 stock market holidays have been scheduled for 2026, of which six have already been observed. Following Ambedkar Jayanti, the next market closures will fall on:

  • Maharashtra Day (May 1)

  • Eid al-Adha (May 28)

Later in the year, markets will remain shut for occasions such as Muharram, Ganesh Chaturthi, Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra, Diwali Balipratipada, Guru Nanak Jayanti, and Christmas.

Weekend Holidays and Muhurat Trading

Some holidays in 2026 fall on weekends and will not impact trading. These include Maha Shivaratri and Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year, as well as Independence Day and Diwali later in 2026. Although Diwali falls on a Sunday this year, exchanges are expected to conduct the customary Muhurat Trading session on the occasion, as per tradition.

With multiple holidays in April, trading volumes may remain uneven, and investors could see reduced activity during the shortened weeks. Market participants are advised to track the holiday calendar closely to manage positions and settlement timelines.
