The Indian stock market, including the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), will remain open for trading on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. Unlike some businesses and institutions that observe New Year’s Day as a holiday, the stock exchanges will operate as usual.
As per the stock market holiday calendar for 2025, January 1 is not listed as a trading holiday. This means that trading activities will follow the regular schedule.
- The pre-open trading session takes place from 9:00 AM to 9:15 AM.
- The regular trading hours are from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM.
All segments, including equity, currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, and electronic gold receipts (EGR), will also remain open.
The stock market holiday calendar for 2025 includes 14 trading holidays, excluding weekends. While January has no weekday holidays, there are several holidays later in the year. For instance, Republic Day, a typical holiday, falls on a Sunday in 2025, so there won’t be an additional trading holiday for this occasion.
In 2024, the stock market observed a total of 16 holidays. The year began with Republic Day on January 26 as the first holiday, and Christmas served as the final holiday of the year.
Investors should note that trading volumes on January 1, 2025, may be lower than usual due to the holiday season. However, the market being open allows traders to act on their strategies without interruption.
The Indian stock exchanges, BSE and NSE, will remain open on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2025. Traders can continue to buy and sell stocks during regular hours. The full list of trading holidays for the year can be checked on the official websites of the exchanges.
This update ensures investors are well-informed about the stock market schedule, enabling them to plan their investments effectively.
