Stock market holiday today: BSE, NSE to remain closed for Dussehra
Moneycontrol.com 6 hrs ago·20 Oct 2026, 1:30 am
India's major stock exchanges, BSE and NSE, will remain closed today in observance of Dussehra. This is a scheduled market holiday, meaning there will be no trading activity for equities, derivatives, or other financial instruments. The closure allows investors and market participants to celebrate the festival with their families.
For retail investors, this means no new buy or sell orders can be placed during trading hours. However, existing open positions and settlement processes will continue as scheduled. It is important to remember that this is a temporary pause in market operations and does not impact the broader financial system.
Investors should use this time to review their portfolios and plan for the upcoming trading session. The market will reopen as usual tomorrow, resuming its routine operations. Always check the official exchange calendar for any other scheduled holidays throughout the year.
