The Indian stock markets, including the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), are open for trading today, Thursday, October 23, 2025. The markets were closed yesterday, October 22.
Trading activities at both the NSE and BSE were suspended on Wednesday as the day was listed as a trading holiday under the exchanges’ official 2025 holiday calendar. Operations have now resumed as per regular market timings from Thursday morning.
While the markets were shut for regular trading on October 22, both exchanges conducted a special Muhurat trading session on October 21 to mark the beginning of Samvat 2082, the Hindu New Year. During the one-hour auspicious session, which took place between 1:45 PM and 2:45 PM, the Sensex and Nifty ended on a slightly positive note, reflecting optimistic investor sentiment at the start of the new trading year.
With the holiday behind, the stock markets are back to normal operations today. Regular trading hours apply across all segments, including equity, derivatives, and currency markets. Investors can expect routine market movements and announcements through the day.
Market participants often keep track of such holidays to plan their trades and investments effectively. Post-holiday sessions sometimes see increased trading activity and market volatility as investors react to global cues and pending announcements.
