The Indian equity markets (NSE and BSE) will observe two full trading holidays in April 2026, in addition to the regular weekend closures. This results in a total of approximately 10 non-trading days for the month when including Saturdays and Sundays.
April 2026 Stock Market Holiday Schedule (NSE & BSE)
Date | Day | Holiday | Status |
April 3, 2026 | Friday | Good Friday | Fully Closed (All segments) |
April 14, 2026 | Tuesday | Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti | Fully Closed (Equity & Derivatives) |
Good Friday (April 3): Markets will be completely shut, creating a long weekend for traders (Friday to Sunday). This holiday is observed across major global markets as well.
Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14): Full closure for equity, equity derivatives, and currency segments. Commodity derivatives (MCX) may follow a similar schedule — traders should confirm with their brokers.
Important Notes for Traders:
No early closures or special sessions are announced for April 2026.
Regular trading hours (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST for equity) will resume the next working day after each holiday.
April 1, 2026 (Wednesday) is a normal trading day, though it may observe a settlement/bank-related restriction in some back-office processes.
Always verify with your broker for any impact on currency, commodity, or international segments.
With only two holidays, April 2026 offers a relatively active trading month for Indian investors.
