The Indian stock market will observe a total of 16 holidays in 2026, with 12 already completed. The calendar includes major festivals and designated market closure days, with Dussehra being one of the observed holidays. Investors have already experienced closures on multiple occasions, including the Dussehra break.
After Dussehra, three more trading suspensions are slated for the remaining two months of the year, leaving limited session days for the close of 2026. These three closures will be spread across the final two months, further reducing the number of trading days available to investors.
Market participants should verify the specific dates on the exchange calendar to plan trades and avoid unexpected gaps in trading activity.
