Stock Market Holidays 2024

To avoid any confusion, individuals are encouraged to visit the BSE website at bseindia.com and click on the ‘Trading Holidays’ option at the top. This will display the complete list of stock market holidays for 2024. According to the list, there are three stock market holidays in November 2024. Two of these holidays were on November 1, 2024, for Laxmi Pooja, and November 15, 2024, for Guru Nanak Jayanti. The third holiday falls on November 20, 2024, in observance of the Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024.

According to the original schedule, there were only two stock market holidays in November 2024. However, following the announcement of the Maharashtra Assembly General Elections on November 20, 2024, the BSE and NSE have declared a market holiday on that day. As a result, the Indian stock market will remain closed today in observance of the Maharashtra Election 2024.

After today’s holiday, the next stock market holiday will be on December 25, 2024, in celebration of Christmas. Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, started higher on Tuesday but eventually gave up all the gains made during the day. As a result, Nifty formed a red-bodied candle with a long upper wick on the daily chart.

The 30-stock BSE Sensex ended the day virtually unchanged, up by 0.31% or 239 points at 77,578.38, while the Nifty50 gained 64.70 points or 0.28%, closing at 23,518.50.
