NSE and BSE Shut for Balipratipada After Nifty Hits 25,045 Nine-Month High

Trading floors in Mumbai will go dark on Tuesday. The National Stock Exchange and BSE will halt all activity across equity cash, equity derivatives, and currency segments on November 10 for the Diwali-Balipratipada holiday. The shutdown pauses momentum right as benchmark indices scaled fresh territory, following a special Sunday Muhurat session on November 8 for Lakshmi Pujan.

Both exchanges will reopen on Wednesday, November 11. Pre-open order matching begins at 9:00 am, and regular market trading starts at 9:15 am. Commodity traders, however, face a split schedule. The Multi Commodity Exchange will shut down during its morning run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, but its clearing engines will spin back up for the evening session at 5:00 pm, taking active orders through 11:55 pm.

Lenders and defence heavyweights drove the run-up into the break. The BSE Sensex added 107 points on Monday, November 9, settling at 81,106, while the NSE Nifty50 climbed 58 points to lock in at 25,045—its highest print in nine months. The Nifty Bank index spearheaded the assault, surging 891 points to finish at 59,741, as public sector lenders drew sustained buying. Nifty Midcap trackers gained 334 points to 61,023.

State-run banks carried the tape. The Nifty PSU Bank index jumped 3%, led by Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, and Union Bank of India, which each posted advances of 4% to 5%. Capital goods and military contractors joined the advance. Data Patterns surged 9%, while shipbuilder Cochin Shipyard and missile-maker Bharat Dynamics added roughly 4% apiece on aggressive block volumes.

Exchange Holiday Calendar 2026

Calendar year 2026 leaves equity desks with just two remaining scheduled holidays after the Balipratipada break. Trading resumes its standard five-day cadence through mid-November before pausing once more ahead of the final settlement week of the month.

Brokers will resume normal margin settlement cycles when clearing houses process Monday’s contracts during Wednesday morning’s settlement window.
