North India and many other regions across the country are celebrating Shri Krishna Janmashtami today, September 4. As the festival is being observed with great enthusiasm, investors and stock market enthusiasts are wondering whether the Indian stock market is open or closed today.
Although banks are closed in many parts of India on the occasion of Janmashtami, and some government offices are also observing a holiday, the stock market follows a separate holiday calendar. The Indian stock exchanges operate according to a schedule set in line with the regulations and trading calendars of SEBI, NSE and BSE. Therefore, a bank holiday does not automatically mean a stock market holiday.
Is The Stock Market Closed Today?
The Indian stock market is not closed today. Both NSE and BSE are operational as usual today. Investors and traders can buy and sell shares and trade in equity normally. The normal trading hours are from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST, Monday through Friday.
As Janmashtami is not listed as a holiday in the stock market calendar, the exchanges will operate normally despite banks and government offices being closed today.
