NSE and BSE Announce Special Muhurat Trading Schedule for November 2026

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) scheduled a special Muhurat trading session for Samvat 2083 on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Trading during this symbolic session will occur from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm, with a pre-open session scheduled earlier at 2:05 pm. Additionally, the exchanges confirmed that regular market operations will remain closed on November 10, 2026, to observe Diwali-Balipratipada. Muhurat trading is an auspicious annual stock market tradition in India marking the beginning of the Hindu calendar year, known as Samvat.

During this brief session, investors traditionally execute small equity trades to invite prosperity, leading to unique volume patterns compared to standard trading days. Exchange holiday calendars ensure that clearing corporations, brokers, and retail participants align their settlement cycles and banking instructions accordingly. Brokers, compliance officers, and investors must update their trading schedules and settlement calendars to account for the Sunday session and the November 10 closure for Diwali-Balipratipada.

Finance professionals should inform clients about the specific operational timings to prevent missed trade execution during the festive window. Bottom line: Plan trading activities and settlement obligations around the special November 8 Muhurat timing and November 10 market holiday.
