Indian Stock Market Remains Open on Raksha Bandhan, Next Holiday on September 14
The Indian stock market, including BSE, NSE, MCX, and NCDEX, will remain open on Friday, August 28, 2026, despite Raksha Bandhan celebrations. Trading, clearing, and settlement activities will continue as usual with no holiday or disruption. Raksha Bandhan is a widely celebrated festival but is not a stock market holiday.
