Is The Stock Market Open Or Closed Today On Account Of Eid-e-Milad 2025?

Eid-E-Milad, which marks the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, will be celebrated across India on September 5.

As per the holiday calendar issued by the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), no market holiday is scheduled today. Thus, the Indian stock market will remain open on Friday, September 5.

In September, the stock markets are closed for eight days, which are regular weekend non-trading days.

The next market holiday falls on October 2 on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra.

As per the NSE calendar, there are 14 trading holidays in 2025. The remaining holidays in the year are as follows:

• Oct. 2 – Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti/Dussehra 

• Oct. 21 – Diwali Laxmi Pujan

• Oct. 22 – Balipratipada 

• Nov. 5 – Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev 

• Dec. 25 – Christmas 

Though Oct. 21 is a holiday for Diwali, a special 'Muhurat Trading' session will be held on that day. The timings for the Muhurat trading session will be notified by the BSE and NSE at a later date.

The benchmark equity indices ended in the green on Thursday after a positive boost on consumption came in from GST rate cuts. During trade today, the markets had risen significantly before closing off highs due to factors like the BSE expiry.

The NSE Nifty 50 settled 19.25 points or 0.08% higher at 24,734.30 and the BSE Sensex closed 150.30 points or 0.19% up at 80,718.01. The Nifty rose as much as 1.08% during the day to 24,980.75, while the Sensex was up 1.10% to 81,456.67.
