The Indian stock market will remain closed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, on account of Diwali-Balipratipada. Both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain shut for the entire day. However, trading in the commodity market will resume during the evening session on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), starting at 5 PM. Regular trading on the equity markets will resume on Wednesday, November 11.
According to the official holiday calendars of the BSE and NSE, November 10 has been designated as a trading holiday for Diwali-Balipratipada. Consequently, trading will remain suspended across the equity, equity derivatives and currency derivatives segments. The Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segment will also remain closed.
Under normal circumstances, Indian stock markets operate from Monday to Friday, opening at 9:15 AM and closing at 3:30 PM. However, there will be no regular trading session on Tuesday.
Investors planning to buy or sell shares will have to wait until the next trading session. They should also check their respective brokers' schedules for applicable order processing and fund settlement arrangements during the holiday.
While the equity markets will remain closed, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) will conduct its evening trading session.
According to the MCX holiday calendar, the morning session, scheduled from 9 AM to 5 PM, will remain closed on Tuesday. Trading in designated commodity contracts will resume at 5 PM and continue until 11:30 PM.
The closing time may vary for certain contracts. Meanwhile, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will remain closed for the entire day.
Commodity market participants should check the respective exchange schedules before placing orders.
Indian equity markets witnessed volatility on Monday, November 9, ahead of the trading holiday. After coming under pressure during the initial part of the session, the markets recovered, with both benchmark indices closing in positive territory.
The BSE Sensex gained 107.25 points, or 0.13%, to close at 81,106.65. The NSE Nifty advanced 58.25 points, or 0.23%, to settle at 25,044.65.
Buying in banking and financial stocks supported the markets. Moderation in crude oil prices also influenced investor sentiment.
On Sunday, November 8, the stock exchanges conducted a special Muhurat Trading session to mark the beginning of Samvat 2083 on the occasion of Diwali.
Both the Sensex and Nifty initially traded higher. However, profit booking during the final part of the session pushed the benchmark indices into negative territory.
The Sensex declined 28.62 points to close at 80,999.40, while the Nifty fell 43.95 points to settle at 24,986.40.
This marked the first time since 2017 that both benchmark indices ended a Muhurat Trading session lower. The decline also ended the eight-year run of gains during the special Diwali trading session. The markets had previously recorded losses during the special sessions in 2016 and 2017.
Before the decline during Muhurat Trading, the Indian stock market had recorded a sharp rally.
During the trading week ended November 6, the Sensex gained approximately 6,568 points, or 8.82%. The Nifty advanced around 8.58% over the same period.
The rally increased the combined market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies by approximately Rs 28.70 lakh crore, taking their total market valuation above Rs 500 lakh crore.
The decline during Muhurat Trading followed the substantial market gains recorded in the preceding week and was attributed to profit booking.
Following the November 10 trading holiday, regular trading on the BSE and NSE will resume on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
