Gandhi Jayanti 2026: Markets to remain closed today
Gandhi Jayanti, observed on October 2, is a national holiday in India. In 2026 the holiday falls on a weekday, so the Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange and other Indian exchanges will be closed for the day. The closure is routine and follows the calendar announced by the exchanges each year.
Because trading is paused, any buy or sell orders placed today will be queued and executed when the market reopens tomorrow. Investors should also note that settlement cycles will shift by one business day, which can affect cash balances and margin requirements. Looking ahead, market participants typically focus on upcoming corporate earnings, the RBI’s policy meeting later in the week, and global cues that could set the tone for the next trading session.
