Is the Indian stock market closed on March 31 or April 1 in observance of Eid-ul-Fitr?

Stock market holiday: According to the NSE and BSE calendars, the Indian stock market will be closed on March 31, 2025, in observance of Eid-ul-Fitr. The commodity derivatives section will open later that day.

 

Stock market holiday: Amid growing worries about the economic effects of US President Donald Trump’s tariff actions, the Indian stock market ended the fiscal year 2024–2025 (FY25) with a 5% gain. Following five months of losses, the index increased in March as a result of strengthening macroeconomic data and the return of foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to the Indian market.

Even though the market is still a little cautious, merchants, investors, and other Indians are getting ready for Eid. There seems to be some misunderstanding,though,regarding whether Monday, March 31,or April 1 will see the closure of the Indian stock market. This is because,depending on when the crescent moon is sighted,India will celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr on either March 31 or April 1.

The two stock exchanges in the nation,the NSE and the BSE,have already published their holiday schedules for the current year,so traders and investors shouldn’t be confused.
