Stock Market Holidays: NSE and BSE Observing Ugadi, Chaitra Navratri, Gudi Padwa and Eid-ul-Fitr - Trading Schedule Check

Indian Stock Markets to Operate Normally Next Week

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) have announced that Indian stock markets will continue normal operations next week, despite the upcoming major festivals.

According to the official trading holiday schedules, there are no market holidays between March 19 and March 21. Trading activity across all segments, including equities, derivatives, currency, and commodities, will proceed without interruption.

The upcoming festivals, including Ugadi on March 19, Chaitra Navratri, Gudi Padwa, and Eid-ul-Fitr, do not coincide with the official holiday schedule. As a result, market closures are determined strictly by the exchanges' predefined holiday list.

In March 2026, the exchanges have designated only three official holidays: March 3 for Holi, March 26 for Ram Navami, and March 31 for Mahavir Jayanti, apart from the usual weekend closures.

Eid-ul-Fitr falls on March 21, but markets will remain closed due to the weekend rather than the festival itself. Overall, trading will largely remain unaffected, ensuring continuity in market activity.
