Mumbai: India’s leading stock exchanges, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE, are closed on Tuesday for Diwali-Balipratipada, a scheduled market holiday.
Regular trading in equities and equity derivatives will remain suspended for the day. Trading is expected to resume on Wednesday, 11 November.
The holiday follows a period of gains in Indian equities, although market analysts have cautioned that investors could see some profit-taking and consolidation in the coming sessions.
According to the reported figures, the Nifty 50 closed Monday’s session at 25,044.65, gaining 58.25 points, or 0.23%. Banking and healthcare shares were among the stronger performers, while some technology and consumer stocks faced selling pressure.
Commodity trading will follow a different schedule. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is scheduled to remain closed during the morning session, with trading expected to resume at 5 pm.
Two more stock market holidays are scheduled for 2026: Guru Nanak Jayanti on 24 November and Christmas on 25 December.
Analysts say investors are likely to monitor global market developments, foreign investment flows and corporate earnings when trading resumes.
While recent gains have supported market sentiment, experts warn that elevated valuations and technical indicators could lead to short-term volatility.
Investors are advised to assess market risks carefully rather than rely solely on recent gains.
