On October 21, 2025, the Indian stock markets will open for a special one-hour Muhurat trading session, marking the beginning of the Hindu New Year, Samvat 2082. This annual Diwali tradition is considered an auspicious time for investors to make fresh trades, with the markets running from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM.
Analysts are hopeful about the year ahead, expecting better earnings growth and supportive government policies to drive the markets forward. Prashanth Tapse, senior vice president for research at Mehta Equities, believes Samvat 2082 will be marked by strong earnings growth across selective sectors like Auto & Auto ancillaries, PSU banks, and NBFCs. "Going forward, we expect the market leaders in these sectors to emerge as the top winners, driven by earnings visibility, structural tailwinds, and favorable policy support," he added.
The markets will remain closed on October 22 for Balipratipada, the day after Diwali, with regular trading activities resuming on October 23.
