Stock market holiday: BSE, NSE closed today | Gandhi Jayanti, 2nd October 2026; how Sensex, Nifty fared on Thursday

On October 2, 2026, both the BSE and NSE will be closed in observance of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti. Trading in all major segments – equities, derivatives and currency – will be suspended for the day, so no price movements will be recorded.
For investors, the holiday means any pending orders will roll over to the next trading session and portfolio valuations will remain unchanged until markets reopen. The shortened trading week can also affect weekly performance metrics for funds and the Sensex and Nifty indices.
The next scheduled holidays are Dussehra on October 20 and Diwali in November. Traders should note these dates, as liquidity can tighten around holiday periods, and plan order placements and risk management accordingly.
