Event Summary

The Indian stock market, including the BSE and National Stock Exchange of India, will observe several holidays in October 2025, notably on October 2 for Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti/Dussehra, and October 21-22 for Diwali and Balipratipada. A special one-hour Muhurat Trading session will be held on October 21 from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm to mark the beginning of Samvat 2082. The Commodity Exchange Act and currency derivatives markets will also follow similar holiday schedules. Historically, Muhurat Trading sessions have often resulted in positive returns for benchmark indices like the S&P BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50, despite lower trading volumes.
