NSE and BSE open for trading on Gudi Padwa 2026

Indian stock exchanges NSE and BSE will operate normally today despite celebrations for Gudi Padwa. There is no market holiday declared for the festival.

India observes Gudi Padwa today in 2026, a traditional festival marking the Marathi and Konkani New Year. However, the country's major stock exchanges, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), have no holiday scheduled and will open for trading at their usual times, according to reports from The Economic Times. This means investors can continue share market activities, including trading in Sensex-related instruments, without interruption. The decision aligns with the published holiday lists for NSE and BSE in 2026, which do not include Gudi Padwa as a trading closure. While many parts of the country, particularly in Maharashtra and Gujarat, celebrate the festival with processions and rangoli decorations, financial markets remain active to support ongoing economic transactions.
