Gandhi Jayanti: Are NSE, BSE closed for trading on October 2?
Times of India 1 hr ago·2 Oct 2026, 3:57 am
The National Stock Exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange and Multi Commodity Exchange will not trade on 2 October 2026 as the nation observes Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, a public holiday. All market sessions are halted for the day, so no new orders can be placed and existing orders will roll over to the next trading day.
For investors, the closure means portfolio values will stay static while broader market sentiment has been under pressure, with four straight sessions of declines driven by foreign selling and higher crude oil prices. The pause also comes just before the Dussehra and Diwali holidays, further shortening the active trading calendar.
Markets are set to reopen on 3 October. Traders will watch for any price gaps that develop overnight, as well as global cues such as oil price movements and foreign fund flows, to gauge the next direction once trading resumes.
