Indian Stock Markets Open on August 26 with Settlement Holiday for Eid-e-Milad
The Indian stock markets, including BSE and NSE, will remain open for trading on August 26, 2026, despite the Eid-e-Milad observance. However, the day will be a settlement holiday, meaning clearing and settlement activities will be suspended, delaying the transfer of securities and funds. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and National Commodity Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will operate normally. The next stock market holiday is scheduled for September 14, 2026, for Ganesh Chaturthi, followed by other festivals later in the year.
