Stock exchanges, the NSE and BSE, release the market holiday calendar at the beginning of each year. The market holiday calendars released by the stock exchanges carry the list of all scheduled holidays for the year.
In addition to the scheduled holidays and weekend closures, stock exchanges can also notify market closures on any other day. Stock exchanges may also open the market on days originally declared as holidays. On certain occasions, stock exchanges also hold the right to extend, advance, or shorten trading hours, as needed.
