Stock Market Holidays List 2026

The Indian stock market observes several holidays in 2026 across NSE, BSE, MCX, and clearance/settlement operations. These holidays impact trading in equities, derivatives, commodities, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB) segments, making it essential for traders and investors to stay informed. Stock market holidays include national public holidays, major festivals, and exchange-declared non-trading days. On these days, trading remains closed, and clearance/settlement operations may also be affected, impacting fund transfers and trade settlements. MCX holidays are particularly important for commodity traders, while settlement holidays influence post-trade processing. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there is no additional trading day off. Being aware of these holidays helps market participants plan trades efficiently, avoid order execution issues, and manage portfolios effectively.
