Indian stock exchanges on Monday announced the timings for the Muhurat Trading 2026 session, a special trading session conducted by the BSE and NSE on Diwali to mark the beginning of the new Hindu calendar year.
The special trading session will be held on Sunday, November 8, according to separate circulars issued by the exchanges.
Unlike regular trading days, when equity markets operate from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm, Muhurat trading is conducted for a shorter duration.
However, trading will be available across various segments, including equity, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives, equity futures and options, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB), according to the exchange circulars.
The periodic call auction session is scheduled to run from 2:25 pm to 3:20 pm.
