Stock market holiday November 2026: The Indian stock market will remain closed on Tuesday, 24 November, for Guru Nanak Jayanti 2026, also known as Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will observe the trading holiday, suspending regular trading across key segments for the day.
There will be no trading in the equity cash, equity derivatives, securities lending and borrowing (SLB), or currency derivatives segments. Since the NSE and BSE operate from Monday to Friday, markets will also remain closed over the weekend, as usual. Normal trading will resume on Wednesday, 25 November.
Guru Nanak Jayanti, also celebrated as Gurpurab or Prakash Utsav, marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism. Born in 1469 at Rai Bhoi Ki Talwandi, now known as Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth anniversary is observed with prayers, religious processions and community services. This year marks his 557th birth anniversary, falling on Tuesday, 24 November 2026.
Following the 24 November trading holiday, Christmas on Friday, 25 December 2026, will be the next and final scheduled stock market holiday of the year. The NSE and BSE will remain closed on the occasion.
Investors should also factor in the regular Saturday and Sunday closures while planning their trading activity for the remainder of 2026.
