Muhurat trading 2026: BSE and NSE mark Hindu financial year
Business
Every Diwali, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) host a special one-hour session called Muhurat Trading.
It's seen as a lucky time to start new investments, marking the beginning of the Hindu financial year.
For 2026, Muhurat Trading is happening on November 8 from 2:20pm to 3:30pm.
Muhurat trading blends culture and finance
Muhurat Trading isn't just about stocks: it's a tradition that blends culture with finance.
A longstanding Diwali market tradition, this session lets people symbolically start fresh for the year by making trades during an auspicious window on Diwali.
Even with all our modern tech, it remains a big deal for investors who want to mix good vibes with smart money moves.
