India’s major stock exchanges – the NSE and BSE – will be closed on March 21, 2024, in observance of the Holi festival. The holiday is part of the official trading calendar, so no buying or selling can be done on that day.
For investors, the closure means that any pending orders will be queued and executed when the market reopens, and settlement cycles shift by one business day. Corporate actions such as dividend payouts, rights issues, or earnings releases scheduled for the holiday will be deferred, so traders should check announcement dates.
The exchanges will resume trading on March 22, 2024. Investors can look ahead to global market cues and any company-specific news that may have built up during the break. Keeping an eye on the opening levels and volume will help gauge early sentiment after the holiday.
