The Indian stock market is experiencing high volatility amid the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran. In this context, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain closed on March 26, 2026, in observance of Ram Navami. This holiday is part of a broader schedule, with a total of 16 stock market holidays planned for the year.

Trading on both the NSE and BSE is set to resume on March 27, allowing investors to re-engage with the markets following the holiday. Meanwhile, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India will have a partial closure; its commodity derivatives segment will remain closed during the morning session on March 26 but will resume trading in the evening.

Following Ram Navami, the next holiday on the calendar is scheduled for March 31, in celebration of Mahavir Jayanti. Additionally, trading will be suspended on April 3 for Good Friday, and the Indian stock market will observe a holiday on April 14 for Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti.

As the year progresses, markets will also close for Maharashtra Day on May 1, Bakri Eid on May 28, and Muharram on June 26. The observance of Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 and Christmas on December 25 will mark the final holidays of 2026.
