Gandhi Jayanti NSE-BSE Holidays 2025: As traders and investors prepare for the forthcoming trading sessions, many are curious about whether the Indian stock market is open or closed today, Thursday, October 2, 2025, as we celebrate the Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, which coincides with Dussehra this year.
Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday in India, and as a result, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are closed for trading today.
Trading, which comprises the equity, equity derivative, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB) categories, on the BSE and NSE will be halted for the day.
Additionally, trading in the Commodity Derivatives Segment and Electronic Gold Receipts (EGR) Segment will be closed solely during the morning shift, which runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Regular trading will resume on Friday, October 3, 2025.
