Indian stock markets will observe a scheduled holiday on Friday, June 26, 2026, with both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) remaining closed for trading. The closure is in observance of Bakri Eid, also known as Eid al-Adha, a significant Islamic festival.
All trading segments across both exchanges will be suspended for the day. This includes equities, equity derivatives, and the various commodity segments. Investors and traders should note that no transactions will be processed during this period.
Normal trading activities will resume on Monday, June 29, 2026, at the usual market opening times. The closure is part of the official list of market holidays published by the exchanges at the beginning of the year.
Bakri Eid, or the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar, celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command.
Market participants are advised to plan their trading and investment strategies accordingly, factoring in this non-trading day. Banking services and other financial institutions may also have modified working hours due to the public holiday.
