Here’s every date the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is closed in 2026. NSE publishes the list by circular each year for the equity, equity derivatives and SLB segments. Besides the 16 weekday closures below, NSE holidays include every Saturday and Sunday.
Keep in mind that the NSE holiday list is not the same for every segment. Commodities and currency derivatives run their own calendars.
List of NSE trading holidays 2026
Nothing trades in equity, equity derivatives or SLB on these dates. When a weekly or monthly expiry falls on one, the contract settles on the previous trading day instead. That happens twice in 2026: the March monthly expiry moves to 25 March, and the May monthly expiry to 27 May.
List of NSE holidays falling on Saturday or Sunday
The below holidays fall on a weekend, so no extra session is lost.
*The market is closed for both sessions on holidays falling on a Saturday or Sunday.
Note. Sunday, 08 November 2026 is a trading holiday for Diwali Laxmi Pujan, but a special Muhurat Trading session will be held that day. The exchange will notify timings by circular closer to the date.
Settlement holidays (2026)
Four dates below are settlement holidays, separate from the NSE holiday list. A settlement holiday is a day when stock exchanges stay open for regular trading, but clearing corporations, depositories such as the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL), and clearing banks stay closed, delaying the transfer of funds and shares by a working day.
