Stock market holidays in 2023
Overall, except Saturdays and Sundays, there are as many as 15 stock market holidays this year. Of these, eight have already taken place, with seven, including Independence Day, to follow. Republic Day (January 26) was the first stock market holiday of the year and Christmas (December 25) will be the last.
Please note…
It must be noted, however, that BSE and NSE reserve the right to close the market on days other than the scheduled holidays, and, likewise, open on days originally declared as holidays.
In either case, a separate circular shall be issued in advance.
