Stock Market Holiday Today, June 26: Are NSE and BSE Open or Closed for Muharram?

India’s premier stock exchanges, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), will remain closed for trading today, June 26, in observance of Muharram. The scheduled closure will suspend all regular market operations, including the equity, equity derivatives, currency derivatives, and Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segments. Because the holiday falls on a Friday, domestic market participants are set for an extended three-day weekend, with normal trading activities slated to resume on Monday, June 29.

Scope of the Trading Suspension

According to the official 2026 holiday calendar released by the exchanges, the full-day closure applies uniformly to wholesale and retail electronic segments. This includes critical transactional frameworks such as the Negotiated Dealing System-Order Matching (NDS-RST) and Tri-Party Repo markets. Stock Market Holiday: Why Will NSE and BSE Remain Closed for 3 Days Next Week?

Brokerages and financial institutions have notified clients that fund payouts, settlement cycles, and margin allocations will see adjustments due to the bank holiday. Consequently, any profits generated from trades executed during Thursday's trading session, June 25, will not be available for withdrawal or leverage until the exchanges reopen next week.

Partial Operations on Commodity Exchanges

While equity and debt markets face a complete shutdown, commodity segments will operate under a modified schedule. The Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX) will observe a partial holiday. Trading will remain suspended during the morning session from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. However, the platform will resume operations for its evening session starting at 5:00 PM and continue until the standard nightly closing time. Similarly, the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will alter its operations based on segment-specific notifications, though primary agricultural commodity derivative windows will mirror the morning suspension.

Note: While major festivals like Independence Day (August 15) and Diwali Laxmi Pujan (November 8) occur later this year, they fall on weekends. A specialised, one-hour Muhurat trading session will be held on Sunday, November 8, to mark the new financial year.

Remaining Market Holidays in 2026

The Muharram closure marks a notable transition in the annual trading calendar, entering a prolonged stretch of continuous market weeks. Following tomorrow's break, the Dalal Street will see a nearly three-month gap without an official weekday holiday. The next scheduled closure of the exchanges will take place on Monday, September 14, for Ganesh Chaturthi.
