BSE, NSE to stay shut on November 10 for Diwali-Balipratipada holiday

There will be no trading on the BSE and NSE on Tuesday, November 10. Both exchanges will remain closed for the Diwali-Balipratipada festival. Investors who were thinking of buying or selling shares on Tuesday will have to plan their trades accordingly.

The holiday is part of the official 2026 holiday calendar of the NSE and BSE. On that day there will be no normal trading in equities, equity derivatives and other related segments. Investors will be unable to buy or sell shares, and no regular trades will take place in these segments.

On the commodity exchange MCX, too, there will be no trading in the morning session on Tuesday. Trading will remain shut from 9 am to 5 pm. Trading will then resume in the evening session and continue until 11:55 pm. Investors dealing in gold, silver and other commodity contracts will also have to plan their trades accordingly.

Diwali was celebrated this year on Sunday, November 8. The stock market is usually closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but on the occasion of Diwali the NSE and BSE held a special Muhurat trading session. The session ran from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm. Muhurat trading is considered auspicious from an investment point of view, and many investors buy shares during it at the start of the new Samvat.

After that, trading resumed as usual on Monday, November 9. The market will be closed on Tuesday and will reopen at its regular time on Wednesday, November 11.

After the November 10 holiday, two more trading holidays remain in the stock market this year. According to the NSE and BSE calendar, these fall in November and December. The first is on Tuesday, November 24, for Prakash Gurpurab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev. The second is on Friday, December 25, for Christmas.
