On October 21, 2025, the NSE and BSE are set to conduct a special Muhurat trading session for Diwali, coinciding with the beginning of the new Hindu year, Vikram Samvat 2082. The markets will be closed for regular trading on this day, with only the one-hour Muhurat session taking place, though the exact timing has yet to be announced. In previous years, it typically occurred around 6 to 7 PM. Muhurat trading is deemed auspicious, with many investors believing it fosters financial growth for the year ahead. Although the session is brief and may experience volatility, it primarily serves a symbolic purpose, encompassing trades in stocks, commodities, currencies, and derivatives.
The MCX will also participate in Muhurat trading on this same day.
