Stock exchanges closed on October 2: Check timings, other details
Heads up: Both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will be closed this Thursday, October 2, 2025.
The break is for Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti, so no trading activity will happen that day.
Diwali also brings market break
October's a busy month for market breaks—there are 11 holidays in total, counting weekends.
Mark your calendar for Diwali Laxmi Pujan on October 21 and Balipratipada on October 22.
Even though markets are off on Diwali day, there'll be a special one-hour Muhurat trading session in the evening; exact timing is still to come.
Normal trading hours
Normally, BSE and NSE run Monday to Friday from 9:15am to 3:30pm.
Holiday dates like these are shared early so everyone can plan ahead—but exchanges can tweak timings or add last-minute holidays if needed.
