Share Market Holiday
In short
The Indian stock exchanges, including the NSE and BSE, are closed for trading tomorrow, 20 October 2026, due to the Dussehra festival.
In plain words
Stock markets stop trading on specific days for religious or national festivals. During these holidays, you cannot buy or sell shares on those specific exchanges.
A simple example
An investor wanting to trade on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) tomorrow will have to wait until the next business day because of the Dussehra holiday.
Why it matters
Holidays affect market liquidity and can impact how stock prices react to news. Traders must plan their transactions around these scheduled closures to avoid missing opportunities.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse a stock market holiday with a retail holiday market, which is a seasonal event for shopping.
