As Diwali is celebrated as the festival of lights across the country today, stock market investors are gearing up for the one-day special trading session to participate in the annual Muhurat Trading.
The special session has become a long-standing tradition, as it is believed that buying stocks at the beginning of a new Hindu calendar year brings prosperity and positive momentum throughout the year.
Both leading stock exchanges will conduct a special one-hour Muhurat Trading session, while the regular market holiday has been declared for Tuesday, November 10.
The periodic call auction session is scheduled to run from 2:25 pm to 3:20 pm.
Closing auction activities will take place between 3:15 pm and 3:35 pm, while the closing session for non-CAS securities will run from 3:30 pm to 3:50 pm.
