Today's Status: Indian Stock Market Closed
Based on the list of stock market holidays in 2024 provided by the BSE website, the Indian stock market will be closed today, which is the 11th April 2024, due to Gudi Padwa festivities. Consequently, trading activities at both the BSE and NSE will be suspended today. In April 2024, there are two stock market holidays, including today and the 17th April 2024, which is the trade holiday after Eid 2024. This implies that next week will also be a shortened trading week as the Indian stock market will remain closed on Wednesday, the 17th April 2024, for Ram Navami Festival. After Ram Navami 2024, no further stock market holidays are scheduled for April 2024.
Stock Market Holidays in May 2024
During May 2024, there was initially one stock market holiday scheduled on the 1st May 2024 for Maharashtra Day celebration. However, due to the Lok Sabha election, an additional stock market holiday has been announced on the 20th May 2024. As a result, May 2024 will have two stock market holidays. In June and July 2024, there is only one stock market holiday each. Specifically, in June 2024, the Indian stock market will be closed on the 17th day of the month for the Bakdi Eid festival. In July 2024, both NSE and BSE will remain closed on the 17th of the month for Muharram.
