Trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE exchanges is halted due to Eid al-Adha, therefore domestic equity markets will be closed on Thursday.

On both exchanges, trading in equities, equity derivatives, securities lending and borrowing (SLB), currency derivatives, and interest rate derivatives will be halted for the day.

After a holiday on May 1st for Maharashtra Day, trading is expected to resume on Friday, May 29th.

There are 16 stock market holidays in 2026, and eight of them have already occurred. There are still seven trading holidays left for the remainder of the year after Thursday’s close.

June 26, when Muharram will cause trading to be suspended, is the next market holiday.

According to its holiday schedule, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) will be closed in the morning session but will reopen for trading in the evening session in the commodities market.

Furthermore, the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will not be open for either morning or evening sessions on the day.
