India Markets Face Shortened Week With Two Holidays
29 Mar
Summary
- Indian stock markets will be closed for two days next week.
- Trading resumes on Wednesday after Mahavir Jayanti closure.
- Good Friday holiday on April 3rd will cause another closure.

Indian equity markets are scheduled for a truncated trading week, with both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) set to observe two consecutive holidays. These closures will limit trading activity to just three sessions. The markets will be shut on Tuesday due to Mahavir Jayanti and will reopen briefly before closing again on Friday for Good Friday. This follows a recent holiday on Ram Navami which preceded a sharp selloff in the market.
Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) will also adjust its trading schedule, with a partial closure on Mahavir Jayanti and a full closure on Good Friday. The shortened week is occurring amidst heightened global volatility. Investors are urged to stay alert to international cues and manage risk prudently. The extended weekend may lead to significant opening gaps when trading resumes.
