Last Updated on Apr 17, 2023 by Harshit Singh

In India, out of the 365 days in a year, there are several holidays. However, when it comes to the stock market, there are only a few trading holidays. All days of the week, except Saturdays and Sundays, are considered business days in the stock market, with trading and investing taking place from Monday to Friday. However, there may be trading holidays announced in advance by the exchanges. Both the NSE and the BSE in India publish a yearly list of trading holidays, including for the year 2023. Let’s take a look at them.

List NSE holidays (2023)

Note: The NSE, or National Stock Exchange, has approximately 20 trading holidays in a year. However, if any of these holidays fall on a Saturday or Sunday, they do not count as trading holidays, as the stock market is closed on weekends. In 2023, 16 trading holidays fall on weekdays, meaning that on these days, all trading activities will be halted.

List BSE holidays (2023)

Note: The BSE, or Bombay Stock Exchange, has published a separate holiday list for 2023, categorized based on trading sectors. This includes separate lists for trading holidays and clearing holidays. Trading holidays indicate days when no transactions occur in the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Every year, these two leading stock exchanges of India publish a list of trading holidays. Other than all Saturdays and Sundays, which are holidays by default, all exchange activities in the stock market are closed on these days. Knowing these days is essential as you can plan your year if you know on which days the stock market will be closed.
