Stock Market Holidays in 2025: What You Need to Know
This year, the Indian stock market has announced 14 trading holidays, spread across different months. Here’s a quick breakdown:
One holiday each in: February, May, November, and December.
Two holidays each in: March and August.
Three holidays each in: April and October.
Additionally, some major holidays like Republic Day (January 26), Shri Ram Navami (April 6), and Muharram (July 6) fall on Sundays, while Bakri Id (June 7) falls on a Saturday. Since these days are already non-trading days, they do not contribute to the count of weekday stock market holidays.
Next Stock Market Holiday After Maha Shivratri
After the February 26 closure, the next trading holiday will be on March 14 for Holi. Investors should plan their trading strategies accordingly, considering the impact of these non-trading days on market movements.
