Muhurat trading: D-St to open for special session on Diwali; check timings
Business Standard 10 hrs ago·8 Nov 2026, 1:44 am
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will hold a special Muhurat trading session on the Diwali trading day. The session begins with a brief pre‑opening window at 2:05 PM, followed by the main trading window that runs until about 3:30 PM, giving market participants a limited period to place orders during the festival.
For retail investors, this window is an opportunity to execute trades in a festive atmosphere when market activity often spikes. The shortened timeframe can lead to sharper price moves, so participants should be prepared for higher volatility and ensure their orders are set correctly.
Going forward, traders will watch how the market opens in the regular session after the Muhurat close, as any price swings during the special session can set the tone for the rest of the day. Additionally, any corporate announcements or macro‑economic data released around the holiday could influence market direction.
