Market participants will also be watching international cues closely, particularly movements in U.S. equities, crude oil and global commodity prices, which often influence trading sentiment when domestic exchanges resume.There are no scheduled stock market holidays in September beyond the usual weekend breaks. The remaining holidays in 2025 are:
  • October 2, 2025 Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti
  • October 21, 2025 Diwali (Laxmi Pujan, with Muhurat trading)
  • October 22, 2025 Diwali (Bali Pratipada)
  • November 5, 2025 Guru Nanak Jayanti
  • December 25, 2025 Christmas
While Indian equity markets observe around 1315 holidays each year, the actual impact often depends on whether the closure creates a long weekend or overlaps with global market activity. The Ganesh Chaturthi holiday is one such instance, offering domestic investors a brief pause before trading resumes later in the week.
