The Indian stock market will remain closed on Monday, September 14, as exchanges observe a trading holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi.
Both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) have included September 14 in their 2026 holiday calendars. Equity and equity derivatives trading will remain suspended for the day, meaning regular stock transactions will not take place.
Trading will resume on Tuesday, September 15.
Why are markets closed today?
Ganesh Chaturthi is being observed across India on September 14 this year. The NSE and BSE follow their own trading holiday calendars, which are separate from the holiday schedules followed by banks and government offices.
The market holiday comes after benchmark indices ended lower for the fifth consecutive week.
What are the Ganesh Chaturthi puja timings?
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations include the installation and worship of Lord Ganesha. The Madhyahna Kaal, or midday period, is traditionally considered an auspicious time for the main puja.
According to Hindu tradition, Lord Ganesha was born during this period.
In Mumbai, the Ganesh Chaturthi Puja Muhurat on September 14 is from 11:20 am to 1:48 pm. In New Delhi, the puja timing is from 11:02 am to 1:31 pm.
MCX trading hours on September 14
Trading in commodities will follow a different schedule. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will remain closed during its morning session from 9 am to 5 pm.
The evening session will begin at 5 pm and continue until 11:30 pm. During the period when US Daylight Saving Time is in effect, trading may continue until 11:55 pm.
What are the next stock market holidays?
After Ganesh Chaturthi, the next scheduled market holidays are Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, Dussehra on October 20, Diwali-Balipratipada on November 10, Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev on November 24 and Christmas on December 25.
A trading holiday means the exchange is shut and regular buying and selling cannot take place. A settlement holiday is different, as trading can continue even though clearing and settlement activities may be suspended.
