Indian equity markets will remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday April 14, 2026, on account of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti — a gazetted public holiday. Both BSE and NSE will not conduct any trading activity on the day, and there will be no settlement either. This makes today, Monday April 13, the last trading session before the break.
The one-day closure means traders and investors will not get another opportunity to act on their positions until Wednesday, April 16 — which is already shaping up to be one of the most eventful trading days of this earnings season. Wipro declares its Q4 FY26 results on April 16, and the board will simultaneously consider a share buyback proposal — two significant catalysts landing on the same day markets reopen.
For F&O traders, today is the day to act. Any open positions that you are uncomfortable carrying through a one-day gap in a volatile global environment need to be addressed before today’s close.
Global markets remain sensitive to geopolitical developments — the US-Iran war situation continues to evolve, crude oil prices remain elevated, and anything that moves US or Asian markets on Tuesday will only be absorbed by Indian markets on Wednesday morning, potentially as a sharp gap.
On the settlement front, trades executed today under the T+1 settlement cycle will settle on Tuesday, April 14 — which is a holiday. Settlement will therefore be pushed to Wednesday, April 16. Investors expecting funds or securities from today’s trades should factor in this one-day delay.
Markets reopen on Wednesday, April 16 — Wipro results day, buyback announcement day, and the next major inflection point for the IT sector’s earnings season.
