Stock markets to remain open on Janmashtami; next holiday September 14

India's primary stock exchanges will maintain regular trading operations on September 4, 2026, when Janmashtami falls, according to their official holiday calendars. The NSE and BSE have not listed the Krishna Janmashtami festival as a market closure date for the current financial year.

Investors and traders should note that while many institutions and businesses may observe the religious holiday, financial markets will function on their regular schedule. Market participants are advised to plan their trading activities accordingly and remain cognizant of potential lower volumes due to the festival observance across the country.

The next scheduled trading holiday for both exchanges is September 14, 2026, as per their published annual calendar. Market participants should review the complete holiday schedule available on the NSE and BSE websites to plan their investment and trading strategies for the remainder of the financial year.

The BSE and NSE typically synchronise their holiday calendars with major national and regional festivals, though the specific dates and inclusions may vary based on regulatory guidelines and market considerations. Investors should remain updated on any announcements regarding market operations during significant festivals and public holidays.
