Muhurat Trading and a Shift in Timing
The most significant holiday block for the Indian stock market is typically the Diwali festival, which in 2025 will see the market closed for two consecutive days: October 21 for Diwali Laxmi Pujan and October 22 for Balipratipada
The Special Muhurat Trading Session
Despite the full-day closure on October 21 Diwali Laxmi Pujan, the tradition of Muhurat Trading will be observed. This special, symbolic one-hour session marks the start of the Hindu New Year (Samvat 2082) and is considered an auspicious time for making token investments.
Notably, the Muhurat Trading session for 2025 is scheduled to break from its recent tradition of late-evening trading. The timings are officially announced by the exchange, but tentative reports suggest the session will be held in the afternoon—allowing investors to participate in this time-honored ritual.
