Indian stock exchanges will open on Sunday for a special trading session with both the exchanges NSE and BSE will hold a Muhurat trading session to mark Diwali. The special trading window will operate from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm, giving investors an opportunity to participate in the traditional Diwali market session. Although November 8 falls on a Sunday, both exchanges will open for this limited period in keeping with the long-standing market tradition. Trading will be available across various segments, including equity, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives, equity futures and options, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB), according to the exchange circulars. Muhurat trading is regarded as an auspicious occasion for investors to make symbolic investments and mark the beginning of a new Hindu financial year. The session attracts participation from retail investors and market participants who consider Diwali an appropriate time to initiate investments. Trading members will be allowed to log in between 1:15 PM and 1:50 PM, followed by the block deal window from 1:50 PM to 2:05 PM. The pre-opening session will run from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM, while continuous trading will take place from 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM. The periodic call auction session is scheduled from 2:25 PM to 3:20 PM. Closing auction activities will take place between 3:15 PM and 3:35 PM, and the closing session for non-CAS securities will run from 3:30 PM to 3:50 PM. While Muhurat Trading carries considerable cultural and symbolic significance, market experts caution investors against making investment decisions solely on auspicious considerations. The Stock Markets will remain closed on November 10 for Diwali-Balipratipada.
