Overview
- NSE and BSE confirm no trading holiday from March 19 to 21, with March 21 a routine Saturday shutdown rather than an Eid-specific closure.
- Trading will run normally across equities, equity derivatives, currency and commodities, as festivals like Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, Chaitra Navratri and Eid-al-Fitr are not exchange holidays.
- Eid timing remains moon-sighting dependent, reported as likely on March 20 or 21, yet it does not add a separate market closure beyond the weekend break.
- RBI lists bank-branch holidays in numerous cities on March 19 for regional festivals and on March 20–21 for Eid, though digital banking services continue.
- Select bank-linked segments were reported to pause on Gudi Padwa—such as currency derivatives, NDS-RST and tri-party repo—while commodities and electronic gold receipts traded; the next exchange holidays are March 26 (Ram Navami) and March 31 (Mahavir Jayanti).
