Mahavir Jayanti 2023: Discover NSE & BSE Market Hours and Holiday Schedule!

With global uncertainties rattling the Indian stock market, particularly concerns about a potential recession and Donald Trump’s tariff policies, local investors are grappling with a pressing question: Will the stock market operate tomorrow, April 10?

The answer is clear—No. Both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will be closed on Thursday, April 10, in observance of Mahavir Jayanti, a public holiday in India.

Market Volatility and Holiday Confusion

In light of recent fluctuations in the market and increased trading activity, many investors were left unsure about whether Mahavir Jayanti would result in a trading holiday. The timing didn’t help either, as April 10 falls on a typical working weekday for the stock market.

However, a straightforward visit to the official NSE and BSE websites, nseindia.com and bseindia.com, quickly clarifies this matter. According to their Stock Market Holidays 2025 schedule, all trading activities—including equity, derivatives, securities lending and borrowing, currency, and electronic gold receipts—will be halted on this day.
