On October 21, 2025, the Indian stock market will remain closed as both the BSE and NSE will observe Diwali Laxmi Pujan. This means that the regular trading session will not take place on this day. However, investors will have a brief window to participate in the special Muhurat trading session, which will be held from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm.
Prior to the Muhurat trading, the pre-open trade will happen from 1:30 pm to 1:45 pm. This one-hour window provides an opportunity for investors to make trades during the auspicious Diwali period.
Interestingly, the Nifty and Sensex indices ended the previous Samvat year 2081 on a strong note, with a 6% return. This positive performance sets the stage for the upcoming Diwali celebrations and the new Samvat year 2082.
