Attention all traders and investors! As we step into November 2023, it's crucial to mark your calendars with the upcoming stock market holidays. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) have scheduled several closures this month that could impact your trading strategies.
November Trading Breaks: What You Need to Know
The Indian stock markets will observe three major holidays during November 2023, providing much-needed breaks for traders and market participants. These closures align with significant cultural and religious festivals celebrated across the country.

Special Diwali Trading Session Alert
In a unique arrangement for the festival season, the stock exchanges will conduct a special Muhurat trading session on November 12th. This traditional session allows investors to begin their new financial year on an auspicious note, following the Hindu calendar.
Planning Your Investment Strategy
With multiple market closures scheduled, savvy investors should:
- Adjust their trading calendars accordingly
- Plan fund transfers and settlements around these dates
- Consider the impact on derivative contracts and expiry dates
- Prepare for potential volatility around holiday periods
Remember that while equity trading halts on these dates, other financial markets and global exchanges continue to operate normally. International events during Indian market holidays could potentially impact opening prices when trading resumes.
Pro tip: Use these market closures to review your portfolio, research new opportunities, and plan your next investment moves without the pressure of live market movements.
