The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain closed on November 27, 2023, on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab, is the most important festival and occasion for the Sikh community. It is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev, the revered founder of Sikhism

According to information on the NSE website, NSE will not conduct any trading for the entire session on this day.

In November 2023, the stock market will be closed for ten days, including four Saturdays and four Sundays. The stock market, where people buy and sell stocks, is usually open every day, except for some special holidays and weekends.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was previously closed on a weekday on November 14 for the occasion of Diwali Balipratipada. So this will be the second weekday in the month of November when the stock market will remain closed.

The equity, Futures and Options (F&O), and currency markets will also remain closed on November 27, 2023, while the commodity markets will be closed for the first half.
