Stock market holiday: BSE, NSE shut for trading today due to Dussehra
Business Standard 2 hrs ago·20 Oct 2026, 1:44 am
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain closed on Wednesday, October 21, as the nation observes the Dussehra holiday. This is a scheduled market holiday, meaning no buying, selling or price discovery will take place on Dalal Street for the day.
For investors, the closure simply pauses all trading activity. Any orders placed before the market shut will be queued and executed when trading resumes, and settlement cycles shift by one business day. The break can also give market participants a chance to reassess positions ahead of any upcoming corporate news or macro‑economic data.
Trading is set to restart on Thursday, October 22. Keep an eye on the opening moves, any earnings releases scheduled for the day, and global market cues that could influence Indian indices once the market reopens.
