NSE and BSE Closed on March 3, 2026, for Holi Holiday Amid Market Volatility

Indian stock markets, including the NSE and BSE, will remain closed on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, for Holi, despite many regions celebrating the festival on March 4. Trading in equities, derivatives, and securities lending and borrowing segments will be suspended. Commodity markets like MCX will close in the morning but reopen in the evening, while NCDEX remains closed all day. The holiday timing has caused some confusion among traders. Markets recently declined amid geopolitical tensions and rising crude oil prices. Additional market holidays in March include Ram Navami on March 26 and Mahavir Jayanti on March 31.
