BSE Holidays List 2025

In June, the stock market will be closed for nine days. These holidays are entirely weekend-based. This implies that four Saturdays and five Sundays will see no market activity. Although there are no weekday holidays in June, stock markets will be closed due to typical weekend holidays. No holiday falls on any trading day this month, according to the NSE holiday schedule. Due to Bakri Id on 7 June, which falls on a Saturday, markets will be closed. Therefore, there is no market holiday on any of the June weekdays. Independence Day, which falls on 15 August, is the next trading holiday of the year. In celebration of Diwali, a special Muhurat Trading session will take place on 21 October.  

There are no special trading holidays on the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange) for May 2025. The stock markets will be open for 5 days this week and will close only on weekends. The trading will continue as usual on the special occasions of the birthday of Kazi Nazrul Islam on 26 May and Maharana Pratap Jayanti on 29 May. 

On the account of Good Friday, which comes before the weekend, the BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will both be closed on 18 April 2025. As a result, for the next three days, the Indian stock market will be closed. Regular trade will resume on 21 April 2025. The NSE and BSE's equity, derivatives, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB) divisions will not trade or settle on Friday. The next market holiday after Good Friday will occur on 1 May 2025, due to Maharashtra Day.
