Questions
- What is a trading holiday?
- A trading holiday is a date on which NSE lists that a segment does not hold its regular trading session. NSE publishes the list for each year. If a listed date also has a special trading session, NSE's own record says so, and this page shows that note.
- Are weekends included?
- Saturdays and Sundays are not regular trading days. NSE's list includes a weekend date only when NSE lists one, and this page counts weekday and weekend dates separately, as NSE gives them.
- Do other segments differ?
- They can. NSE publishes a list for each segment, such as futures and options (FO) and currency derivatives (CD), and the lists do not always match. This page shows the equity segment (CM) only.
- Where does the list come from?
- From NSE's own trading holiday list. A scheduled job reads it from NSE's website each Monday and saves it as one file, and this page is built from that file. The dates, weekdays and names are NSE's; nothing is typed in by hand.
- Can the list change?
- Yes. NSE can amend a listed date. Because the job reads the list each week, this page can trail a change by about a week, and it shows when the list was last read. Check NSE's own notice for the latest.
How to read this page
Each row is one date that NSE lists for the equity segment, with its weekday and NSE's own name for it. Rows are grouped by month and sorted by date.
The next holiday is the first listed date on or after today's date in India, worked out in your browser, so a copy built a few days ago still shows the right one. A special session is marked only when NSE's record gives a trading session for that date, and NSE's text for it is shown underneath. For Muhurat and other special sessions on past dates, see the Market days page.
Limits to keep in mind
- The list is as NSE published it and can change. Check NSE's own notice before you rely on a date.
- Trading and settlement calendars are NSE's. Banks and other bodies publish their own holiday lists, which can differ.
- Only the equity segment (CM) is shown. Other segments have their own lists.
- Some names carry an asterisk, such as Diwali Laxmi Pujan*. It is kept as NSE wrote it, and NSE's file carries no footnote text.
- Past holidays do not indicate future ones.
